The present invention relates to articles comprising both thermoplastics and elastomers. Latex formulations comprising elastomers, thermoplastics, accelerators, defoamers, antioxidants, cross-linking agents, colorants, surfactants, fillers, pH adjusters, and dispersion media with a total solids content of 5% to 40% by weight weight%. The present invention also discloses a method of preparing a latex formulation for use in the manufacture of gloves comprising a thermoplastic and an elastomer, comprising the steps of: blending the elastomer with the thermoplastic to prepare a dispersion and stirring, while stirring To this are added accelerators, antifoams, antioxidants, crosslinking agents, colorants, surfactants and fillers, followed by pH adjusters, to prepare a latex formulation, which is continuously stirred and aged, wherein by The dispersion medium was added to the latex formulation to adjust the total solids content to 5 to 40 wt%, and the pH range of the latex formulation was adjusted to 9 to 11. |
