a damage tolerant cut resistant chemical handling glove that is flexible and lightweight comprises a cured , liquid - impervious polymeric latex shell , a knitted cut resistant liner comprising a cotton yarn and at least one cut resistant yarn , the liner being infiltrated with a soft nitrile or polyurethane layer such that the liner bonds to the shell . the soft nitrile or polyurethane layer seals interstices of the cut resistant liner and replicates its rough texture on the external surface of the glove , providing enhanced grip properties . a thin nitrile latex layer applied to and cured together with the polyurethane layer to protect the polyurethane layer from oil or chemical degradation . the intimate seal thus created between the shell and the liner prevents accumulation of liquid there between , which prevents formation of a liquid boundary layer and interference with grip properties of the glove .
