Good adhesion is essential for coated and supported gloves.
If the NBR coating does not adhere properly to the substrate, the glove may experience peeling, cracking or premature coating failure during use.
Adhesion can be influenced by:
NBR latex characteristics
Textile substrate
Surface preparation
Formulation
Coating penetration
Drying
Curing
This means that changing the latex can sometimes affect coating adhesion even when basic film properties appear similar.
For supported glove manufacturers, adhesion should therefore be evaluated as part of the complete coating system.
RUICO NBR latex can be evaluated with different textile substrates and coating systems according to the customer's application requirements.
