Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to transparent composites having anti-fogging properties and anti-fog coating compositions for providing anti-fogging properties. The anti-fogging layers can contain an adhesive polymer, a hard polymer, and a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the adhesive polymer, hard polymer, and hydrophilic polymers are different. In further embodiments, composites are described including a substrate layer; a first adhesive layer; a first transparent layer; a second adhesive layer; a second transparent layer; and an anti-fog layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to composite or articles for protective clothing, which include an anti-static layer. The antistatic layer can 1), include an antistatic agent comprising an electronically conductive material, and the antistatic layer can have a visible light transmission of at least 70%; 2) the anti-static layer can have a surface electrical resistivity (SER), and/or a water electrode resistivity (WER) of no greater than 1011 ohms/square and a visible light transmission of at least 70%; or 3) the anti-static layer has an electrical resistivity, measured in ohms/square, which varies by no more than 1.5 order of magnitude over a range of relative humidity of 5% to 95%, and a visible light transmission of at least 70%.

Abstract: A glove includes an inner layer having the 3-dimensional shape of a hand and including a fibrous absorbent material, and the glove includes a fluoropolymer barrier layer thermoformed around the inner layer to have the 3-dimensional shape of the hand. The fluoropolymer barrier layer maintains the 3-dimensional shape when not in use. The glove has a breakthrough time of not greater than 1 hour when exposed to NFPA 1991 industrial chemicals and has a detectable permeation rate is not more than 0.10 micrograms/cm2/min.
