Abstract

Certain polyether-based or polyester-based polyurethaneureas in solutions of organic solvent at a 12 to 20% concentration are particularly suited for use in a mandrel-dipping process for producing thin-walled elastic articles, such as surgical gloves, which are more resistant to puncture and tear than conventional surgical gloves made from rubber latex.
