    Abstract

Short Communication
Estimation of Coating Thickness of Polymer Coated NR Gloves
A.H. Eng

The coating thickness of polymer coated NR gloves was estimated by using a stylus surface profile machine. During the measurement, the gloves were stretched to a suitable length, and the polymer layer which was harder than NR, cracked, exposing the NR to the surface. When the stylus was driven across the surface, the sharp pointed end of the stylus dropped into, and came out from the cracks, generating a series of peaks that corresponded to the coating thickness of the polymer layer. The coating thickness of the polymer-coated gloves in cuff palm, and finger regions was measured and compared. The significance of the results is discussed in relation to the way these gloves were made.
