The present invention provides an article comprising at least one cured liquid-impermeable polymeric shell, at least one liner, and a non-stick thermoplastic adhesive layer between the shell and the liner, wherein the adhesive layer is melted and substantially free of defects. It solidifies to create a non-tacky bond between the shell and the liner, which may be water-absorbent or cut resistant, whereby the liner supports the shell and limits the extensibility of the shell, so that either the adhesive layer and the shell and / or liner An article which prevents adhesive peeling between; A method of making an article comprising a supported polymeric shell, such as gloves, thirsty gloves, apron or boots, which provides a cured liquid-impermeable polymeric shell, provides a knitted / woven liner, Incorporating a non-tacky thermoplastic adhesive layer between the shell and the liner, such as by melt spraying, dry-powder spray or fiber-coating, creating intimate contact between the shell, adhesive layer and the liner, and infraredizing the shell, adhesive layer and liner Applying to radiation to melt the adhesive layer, create a bond between the shell and the liner, and cool the shell; And other methods. |
