Eliminate powders in gloves and on other rubber articles.

Consider a cost-effective alternative to chlorination for natural rubber and synthetic gloves.

Create a finished coating that reduces the amount of extractable latex proteins.

With Avery Dennison glove coating emulsion, you can achieve superior external and internal glove surfaces cost effectively- without changing or adding steps to your existing manufacturing processes.

Precisely Formulated for Glove Manufacturing
The Avery Dennison Chemical Divisions have developed a precisely formulated, water-based acrylic copolymer emulsion for use in the production of natural and synthetic rubber gloves for laboratory, industrial, health care and food-handling applications. Our acrylic glove coating emulsions provide optimum stability in the glove manufacturing process and outstanding performance characteristics: even coating, superior bonding with latex surfaces and an effective finished coating that reduces the amount of extractable latex proteins.

Applications Expertise
Avery Dennison's acrylic glove coating emulsions are the result of extensive research and testing, highly sophisticated chemistry and state-of-the-art technology. The chemists, process engineers and scientists at the Avery Dennison Chemical Divisions have focused their expertise in polymer synthesis, rheology, morphology and surface chemistry on the multi-faceted challenges of nitrile and natural rubber latex glove manufacturing. The result is a highly stable acrylic copolymer that meets these challenges effectively and provides multiple advantages for the end product.

Consider These Advantages
Avery Dennison's acrylic copolymer glove coatings provide superior performance.

1. Our acrylic emulsions replace powders for donning and mold release- and eliminate the risk of powder-related post-operative complications.
2. Because of their precise chemical formulations and stability, our acrylic emulsions can be added directly to the coagulant medium and donning agent mixture of any typical glove manufacturing process.
3. The superior bonding of our acrylic emulsions ensures complete and even surface coverage and provides and effective finished coating that reduces the amount of extractable latex proteins.
4. By creating a superior latex emulsion coating within the normal manufacturing process, Avery Dennison's glove coating eliminates the need for chlorination and the inevitable defects, additional costs, and other problems that often result from this process.
5. The chemical formulation of our acrylic emulsions provide durable, highly tactile finished glove surfaces.
6. Avery Dennison's highly stable acrylic formulations and superior bonding characteristics eliminate the risk of delamination often found with other glove coating formulations

Test Our Acrylic Emulsions for Yourself
We invite you to test our acrylic emulsions in your laboratory, pilot facility or directly on your manufacturing line. We will provide full technical assistance during the testing and evaluation process and help in any way we can to ensure optimum results.
