Latex formulation for making elastomeric products and method of preparing the same and elastomeric gloves comprising the latex formulation

摘要

A latex formulation for making elastomeric product, more particularly an elastomeric glove comprising a mixture of at least one base polymer, a cross-linker; and a pH adjuster, where the pH adjustor providing a pH range of 9.5 to 10.5. Still further, the present invention discloses a method for preparing a latex formulation for making elastomeric product, more particularly an elastomeric glove without using accelerators, zinc oxide and sulphur, which comprises the steps of mixing a base polymer with a pH adjuster, stirring the mixture for time period ranging from 20 minutes to 30 minutes, adding a cross-linker to the mixture, stirring said mixture for an hour, optionally adding at least one or more additive to said mixture, adding water to said mixture to achieve a total solid content (TSC) ranging in between 13% to 30% by w/w, allowing said mixture to mature.
