Abstract: A protective glove made of a fabric base or inner lining covered externally by a flexible, protective two-layer coating based on plasticized polyvinyl providing simultaneously high mechanical and physical strength and high resistance to chemical attack. The coating is made of two layers. A first inner is applied externally over the entire lining and has a high mechanical and physical strength. A second outer layer of the coating is bonded on the inner layer and has a high resistance to chemical attack. The outer layer covers entirely only the backsides and frontsides of the five fingers of the glove and the palm thereof constituting gripping areas used for gripping articles. The backside area of the glove is free of the outer layer of coating so that this area remains flexible for bending of the fingers and closing the hand. If the glove is provided with a wrist, it also is covered only with the first inner layer of the coating.

Abstract: A method of making protective gloves in which a glove lining is soaked in a first PVC coating material which is then drained and gelled. A second coating is applied by soaking. The first coating material is a mixture of polyvinyl chloride and a plasticizer.

Abstract: In the manufacture of a protective glove, there is provided a mold having two parts interconnected to be moved into open and closed positions. There is also provided an inner glove lining, and each part of the mold is covered with it. The mold, in closed position, is dipped in a bath of protective coating material, removed therefrom, and exposed to initial draining of an excess of coating material. Thereafter, the mold is opened and the draining is completed, while portions of the coating material are retained and gelled.
