Definitions
- the present invention relates to a glove with high mechanical performance, as well as high resistance to chemicals and / or to radiolysis, and to a process for manufacturing such a glove.
- PIERCAN S.A. describes gloves comprising a layer of rubber (for example butyl rubber), intended to come into contact with the hand, and a layer of polyurethane. The latter ensures the mechanical resistance of the glove, while the rubber layer present on the internal face of the glove prevents hydrolysis of the polyurethane during contact with the hand of the user.
- Such gloves can be used in glove boxes, in particular for handling radioactive products. They have a tear resistance of 24 N and a puncture resistance of 55 N according to standard NF EN 388.
- the gloves suitable for handling the radioactive products described above do not have sufficient mechanical performance. In particular, their resistance to puncture and tearing does not allow optimal protection of the user.
- High protection gloves against the risks of cutting have also been described in Patent EP 0 716 817 in the name of the company HUTCHINSON.
- These gloves include, on the face of the glove intended to cover the palm of the hand, a material of high resistance to cutting (such as a knitted fabric of para-aramid fibers), while the face of the glove intended to cover the back of the hand consists of a elastic textile of natural or synthetic organic fibers (such as knitted cotton fibers).
- the glove can also be coated with an elastomer, by successive dipping of the glove in an aqueous dispersion of said elastomer, so as to waterproof the fibers described above with respect to certain agents. , such as oils or aqueous products, as well as to avoid premature wear or deterioration of these fibers when handling objects with roughness.
- elastomers which, in addition to their role of waterproofing and protecting the textile from the outside environment, have good mechanical properties, in particular from the point of view of resistance puncture and tear.
- certain elastomers can only be used in the form of solutions and are therefore not available in the form of aqueous dispersions, as is the case for example with butyl rubbers.
- Patent EP 0 716 817 describes the coating of a textile only with elastomers in the form of aqueous dispersions, by successive dipping of the textile in these aqueous dispersions.
- the direct soaking of a textile in an elastomer solution is indeed to be prohibited, since it would imply, having regard to the high penetrating power of elastomer solutions, full inclusion of the textile (over its entire thickness) in the elastomer. This would result in a loss of flexibility of the textile.
- the gloves thus obtained would be particularly uncomfortable to wear for the user, their lack of flexibility making them unsuitable for following the movements of the hand and fingers.
- US Patent No. 4,742,578 describes surgical gloves consisting of a layer of a synthetic rubber latex on which a textile coating is bonded. The manufacturing of these gloves is done in two stages: 1) dipping of a form in a latex then drying and vulcanization, then,
- the object of the invention is to provide a glove which has high mechanical performance, in particular with regard to the resistance to puncture and to tearing, while being suitable for handling radioactive products and / or chemicals.
- a layer of textile with high mechanical resistance with one or more layers of elastomers selected for their high chemical resistance and / or for their resistance to radiolysis.
- elastomers are surprisingly used in the form of solutions in one or more organic solvents or in water, types of elastomers that those skilled in the art did not know until now. combine with a textile.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a glove with high mechanical performance, as well as with high resistance to chemicals and / or to radiolysis, characterized in that it comprises:
- one or more layers of elastomers identical or different, obtained from solutions of said elastomers in one or more organic solvents or in water,
- radiolysis resistant glove means a glove in which it is not detected visually and after several months of use (at least after 3 months, advantageously after 12 to 36 months or beyond), no degradation under the action of radioactive radiation, namely no appearance of cracks in the structure of the glove.
- elastomer solution means an elastomer in liquid form in a single continuous phase, as opposed to aqueous dispersions of elastomer (or latex).
- internal surface of the glove is meant the surface of the glove intended to come into contact with the user's hand.
- textile with high mechanical resistance is meant a textile having good puncture and tear resistance, appreciated according to standard NF EN 388.
- level of resistance to cutting it depends on the nature of the chosen textile, the diameter of the fibers and the size of the mesh of the textile, in the case where the fibers of the textile are knitted.
- the levels of resistance to perforation, to cutting and to tearing involve distinct mechanical characteristics, since they correspond to the resistance to mechanical stresses of different types, namely, respectively resistance to contact with a sharp object, resistance to contact with a sharp object, and the ability of a sample with a notch not to tear even more from this notch.
- said textile having high mechanical strength preferably consists of natural or synthetic fibers, woven or knitted, selected from high tenacity polyethylene fibers, polyester high tenacity, polyaramid (such as KEVLAR ® ), polyamide, viscose and mixtures thereof.
- elastomers they can be selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, chlorosulfonated polyethylenes (eg the product sold under the HYPALON ® trademark by Du Pont De Nemours,
- polychloroprenes for example the product sold under the brand
- elastomers in the form of solutions advantageously makes it possible to select elastomers which have better mechanical properties than if they came from aqueous dispersions (in the case of certain polyurethanes for example), or to use elastomers belonging to the same chemical family but with different structures than those which exist under form of aqueous dispersions (for example in the case of polychloroprenes).
- certain elastomers are not available in the form of aqueous dispersions but can only be used in the form of solutions, for example in the case of butyl rubbers.
- the glove according to the invention may have, in addition to high mechanical performance, high resistance to chemicals and / or to radiolysis.
- the use of polyurethanes, chlorosulfonated polyethylenes and polychloroprenes makes it possible to obtain a glove resistant to radiolysis.
- Chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, polyvinyl alcohols and polyisoprenes also give the glove according to the invention excellent chemical resistance to liquids (water, oils, solvents). If chemical resistance to gases is desired, then the use of butyl rubbers is recommended.
- the latter comprises:
- one or more layers of polyurethane obtained from a solution of said polyurethane in one or more organic solvents,
- said polyurethane solution comprises at least one polar solvent.
- the total thickness of the elastomer layers is preferably between 0.3 and 1 mm.
- the gloves according to the invention advantageously have a puncture resistance of at least
- NF EN 388 i.e., according to this standard, a level 4 of resistance to puncture and to tear in pants.

- organic solvents and textile. high mechanical strength are as defined above in relation to the glove according to the invention.
- step a) of dipping the mold in elastomer solutions can be repeated up to 20 times, for example from 6 to 20 times. In which case, each layer of elastomer is dried, at least partially, before dipping the mold again in an elastomer solution.
- the process according to the invention may comprise, before step b), a step a ') of drying each layer of elastomer obtained on said mold during step a).
- said textile layer with high mechanical strength applied during step b) is previously impregnated with water optionally comprising a nonionic surfactant, or else at least one solvent for the elastomer which is in direct contact with said textile layer.
- the process according to the invention may comprise, between steps b) and c), a step b ') of impregnating the textile layer with high mechanical resistance with at least one solvent for the elastomer which is directly in contact with said textile layer.
- the impregnation of the textile with the solvent can for example be carried out by application with a brush or a brush, or else by spraying of the solvent on the textile layer. This impregnation can also be carried out by immersion in at least one solvent of said elastomer:
- step b either of the textile alone, in the case where the impregnation of the textile by a solvent is carried out prior to step b.
- the solvent used to impregnate the textile makes it possible to make the latter integral with the layers of elastomer: it in fact partially dissolves the surface of the elastomer in contact with the textile, resulting in adhesion at the interface between the elastomer and the textile.
- the process according to the invention preferably comprises, immediately before step c) of removing the glove by turning it over, a step c ') of drying the mold / elastomer / textile assembly with high mechanical strength.
- the latter can therefore comprise the following sequence of steps: a) soaking a mold, at least once, in one or more solutions , identical or different, of one or more elastomers in one or more organic solvents or in water, a ') drying of each layer of elastomer obtained on the mold during step a), b) application, on one or more parts or on the entire surface of said layers of elastomers, as obtained at the end of the preceding step, with a layer of textile with high mechanical resistance, said textile being able to be soaked with water optionally comprising a nonionic surfactant, b ') impregnation of the textile layer with high mechanical resistance by at least one solvent of the elastomer which is directly in contact with said textile layer, c') drying of the whole mold / el astomer / textile with high mechanical resistance obtained at the end of the previous step, then c) removal of the glove by inversion.
- the process according to the invention can also comprise the following sequence of steps: a) soaking a mold, at least once, in one or more solutions, identical or different, of one or more elastomers in one or more several organic solvents or in water, a ') drying of each layer of elastomer obtained on the mold during step a), b) application, to one or more parts or to the entire surface of said layers d elastomers, as obtained at the end of the previous step, of a layer of textile with high mechanical resistance, this textile being impregnated with at least one solvent of the elastomer which is directly in contact with said textile layer, c ') drying of the mold / elastomer / textile assembly with high mechanical resistance obtained at the end of the preceding step, then c) removal of the glove by inversion.
- the elastomers used in the process according to the invention can be selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, polychloroprenes, butyl rubbers, synthetic or natural polyisoprenes, polyvinyl alcohols and their mixtures.
- the process according to the invention makes it possible to reinforce, with a textile, one or more layers of elastomers originating from solutions of said elastomers in an organic solvent or in water. Such a method overcomes the shortcomings of the methods of manufacturing gloves known so far.
- the method according to the invention therefore makes it possible, by the soaking technique, to make gloves comprising layers of elastomers coming from solutions of said elastomers, reinforced with a layer of textile.
- the original succession of steps according to the process according to the invention makes it possible to limit the interpenetration between the elastomer and the textile when these two materials are brought into contact, during step b) of the process.
