A method for curing a latex comprising water, a block copolymer and a guanidine-free, thiuram-free vulcanization system;

摘要

A method for curing aqueous latex comprising block copolymers is described. block copolymers have the general formula a - b - a or a - b - y - (b - a) n. curing is conducted using vulcanization systems that are free of guanidine and thiurama compounds. Cured latexes are useful in the manufacture of elastic, surgical, examination, and electrical insulating gloves, industrial gloves, and condoms.
