Abstract: A dip-formed article that has wearing comfort, excelling in not only tensile strength but also flexing fatigue and that itself does not tend to suffer coloration even when the article is worn and operation is continued; and a dip-forming composition capable of providing such a dip-formed article. There is provided a dip-forming composition comprising a conjugated diene rubber latex and an organic peroxide, wherein providing that X refers to the 10-hr half-life temperature (° C.) of organic peroxide and Y refers to the octanol-water partition coefficient of organic peroxide, the organic peroxide satisfies the formulae: 11?Y?2 (1), and 100?2Y?X?70?2Y (2). There is further provided a dip-formed article obtained from the composition.

Abstract: A dip-forming composition comprising a conjugated diene rubber latex prepared by copolymerizing 30-90 wt. % of a conjugated diene monomer, 0.1-20 wt. % of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer and 0-69.9 wt. % of other copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, wherein a copolymer constituting the conjugated diene rubber latex exhibits a content insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone of not larger than 30 wt. % at a latex pH value of 10, and the dip-forming composition has a pH value of at least 8.5 and is substantially free from a sulfur-containing vulcanizer, a vulcanization accelerator for the sulfur-containing vulcanizer, and zinc oxide. A dip-formed article made therefrom, which has been crosslinked with a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt used as a coagulant for latex, has an extremely reduced number of pinholes, good softness to touch, high tensile strength and high fatigue resistance to repeated use.

Abstract: A water-soluble resin composition comprising a water-soluble resin and a colorant, which copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of at least 8,000 and is prepared by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and a monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of an alcoholic hydroxyl group-containing water-soluble high polymer or a copolymerizable surface active agent to give a copolymer having an acid value in the range of 5 to 120 and then neutralizing the thus-obtained copolymer with a basic, exhibits a reduced viscosity change when it is stored for a long period, and is useful as an aqueous ink capable of giving an image having good dot reproducibility and good abrasion resistance.
