  • Glove Confusion? Here’s Your Guide
    Jun 30, 2025
    Gloves are the most commonly used protective tools in the laboratory besides goggles. There are many types of gloves, and different gloves have different uses.     1. Natural rubber (latex) Latex gloves, made from natural rubber, typically lack a lining and are available in both clean and sterile versions. These gloves can provide effective protection against alkalis, alcohols, and a variety of chemical dilution aqueous solutions, and can better prevent corrosion from aldehydes and ketones.   2. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gloves The gloves do not contain allergens, are powder-free, have low dust generation, low ion content, strong chemical corrosion resistance, can protect almost all chemical hazardous substances, and also have anti-static properties. Thickened and treated surfaces (such as fleece surfaces) can also prevent general mechanical wear, and thickened types can also prevent cold, with an operating temperature of -4℃ to 66℃. Can be used in a dust-free environment. PVC gloves grading standards: Grade A products, no holes on the surface of the gloves (PVC gloves with powder), uniform powder, no obvious powder, transparent milky white color, no obvious ink spots, no impurities, and the size and physical properties of each part meet customer requirements. Grade B products, slight stains, 3 small black spots (1mm≤diameter≤2mm), or a large number of small black spots (diameter≤1mm) (diameter>5), deformation, impurities (diameter≤1mm), slightly yellow color, serious nail marks, cracks, and the size and physical properties of each part do not meet the requirements.   3. PE gloves PE gloves are disposable gloves made of polyethylene. These gloves are waterproof, oil-proof, anti-bacterial, and resistant to acids and bases. Note: PE gloves are safe to use with food and are non-toxic. It is better to keep PVC gloves away from food, especially if it's hot.     4. Nitrile rubber gloves Nitrile rubber gloves are usually divided into disposable gloves, medium-duty unlined gloves and light-duty lined gloves. These gloves can prevent erosion by grease (including animal fat), xylene, polyethylene and aliphatic solvents; they can also prevent most pesticide formulations and are often used in the use of biological components and other chemicals. Nitrile rubber gloves do not contain protein, amino compounds and other harmful substances, and rarely cause allergies. They are silicone-free and have certain antistatic properties, which are suitable for the production needs of the electronics industry. They have low surface chemical residues, low ion content and small particle content, and are suitable for strict clean room environments.   5. Neoprene gloves Similar to the comfort of natural rubber, neoprene gloves are resistant to light, aging, flexing, acid and alkali, ozone, combustion, heat and oil.   6. Butyl rubber gloves Butyl rubber is only used as a material for medium-sized unlined gloves and can be used for operations in glove boxes, anaerobic boxes, incubators, and operating boxes; it has super durability against fluoric acid, aqua regia, nitric acid, strong acids, strong alkalis, toluene, alcohol, etc., and is a special rubber synthetic resistant liquid gloves.   7. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gloves Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can be used as a material for medium-sized lined gloves, so this type of gloves can provide a high level of protection and corrosion resistance against a variety of organic chemicals, such as aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, fluorocarbons and most ketones (except acetone), esters and ethers.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • Production Process of Polyvinyl Butyral Resin
    Nov 20, 2024
    The full name of PVB is polyvinyl butyral, or PVB resin for short. It contains a lot of hydroxyl (OH) groups, which can produce bridging reactions with some thermosetting resins to improve chemical resistance and coating film hardness. PVB molecules contain long branched chains and have good flexibility, excellent transparency, strong adhesion, good light resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, water resistance, film-forming properties, solubility, miscibility, high tensile strength and impact resistance, etc. It is widely used in the fields of manufacturing laminated safety glass, coatings, adhesives, ceramic film decals, vacuum aluminum foil paper, electrical materials, fiberglass products, fabric treatment agents and engineering plastics. It is a synthetic resin material with broad development and utilization prospects. There are three main synthesis methods for producing PVB(such as Butvar B-98 & PVB WWW-A-20) in the industry: one-step method, dissolution method and precipitation method. The following will introduce these three process methods and their advantages and disadvantages in the production process one by one.   The one-step method refers to a generation process in which the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) and the acetal reaction of the generated PVB are carried out simultaneously. It is represented by the production process of Solutia Company (the chemical division of Monsanto Company was split to form Solutia Company, which has now been acquired by Eastman Company). Vinyl acetate is bulk polymerized to form a methanol solution of polyvinyl acetate, and HCI is added for alcoholysis. The PVA generated by alcoholysis is suspended in a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethyl acetate, and butyraldehyde and HCI are added for acetal reaction. At the reflux temperature, react for 8 to 10 hours. As the reaction proceeds,  Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is completely dissolved and a uniform PVB solution is finally formed. Then add alkali to adjust the pH to 6. After reaching the specified acetal rate, it precipitates in water. After washing, neutralizing and drying, the finished PVB product can be obtained.   The dissolution method is to make PVA into a methanol suspension, add HCI and butyraldehyde to perform a condensation reaction. As the reaction proceeds, PVA gradually dissolves to form a uniform solution. After reaching the specified acetal ratio, it precipitates in water. After washing, neutralizing and drying, the finished PVB product can be obtained. The acetal rate of the PVB resin produced by this method can reach more than 86%, and the condensation distribution is uniform.   The precipitation method requires first dissolving PVA in water (85-90°C), then filtering the solution, pressing it into an acetal kettle, adding hydrochloric acid and butyraldehyde, and adding butyraldehyde in two batches to start homogeneous condensation. When the reaction reaches a certain level, PVB particles are precipitated from the solution and suspended in the mother liquor, which is a heterogeneous condensation reaction. When the condensation is completed, the material is put into a water washing kettle, washed with water, and alkali is added for stabilization, then filtered and dried to obtain powdered PVB.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • The effect of redispersible emulsion powder on dry powder mortar
    Apr 26, 2021
    Redispersible emulsion powder is a modified emulsion powder obtained by spray drying of a binary or ternary copolymer of vinyl acetate and tertiary vinyl carbonate -VeoVa or ethylene or acrylic ester, which has good redispersibility and is re-dispersed into emulsion when it is in contact with water, and its chemical properties are exactly the same as the initial emulsion. After mixing with the water in the mortar, it emulsifies and disperses in the water to form a stable polymerization emulsion. After dispersing in water, the water evaporates, forming a polymer film in the mortar after drying, improving the performance of the mortar. Different dispersible latex powders have different effects on the dry mortar. 1. Improve the impact resistance, durability and wear resistance of mortar The rubber powder particles fill the cavity of the mortar, the densification of the mortar is increased, and the wear resistance is improved. Under the action of external forces will produce relaxation and not be destroyed. The polymer film can exist in the mortar system for a long time.   2. Improve the bonding strength and cohesion of mortar As an organic binder, dispersible emulsion powders provide high tensile strength and bonding strength on different substrates. It plays a very important role in the adhesion between mortar and organic materials (molded plates, extruded plates) and smooth surface substrates. The film-forming polymer rubber powder is distributed in the whole mortar system as a reinforcing material to increase the cohesion of the mortar.   3. Improve the mortar's weatherability, freeze-thaw resistance and prevent mortar crackingThe RDP emulsion powder is a thermoplastic resin adhesive powder with good flexibility, which can make the mortar cope with the external cold and hot environment changes and effectively prevent the mortar from cracking due to the change in temperature difference.   4. Improve the hydrophobicity of mortar and reduce water absorptionThe RDP emulsion powder forms a film in the mortar cavity and surface, and the polymer resin film will not disperse twice after encountering water, preventing the invasion of water and improving the impermeability. Enhanced dispersible adhesive powder with hydrophobic effect has better hydrophobic effect.   5. Improve the bending strength and flexural strength of mortar The polymer film formed by dispersible emulsion powder has good flexibility. The film is formed in the gap and surface of cement mortar particles to form a flexible connection, so that the brittle cement mortar becomes elastic. The mortar added with dispersible emulsion powder has much better tensile and flexural properties than ordinary mortar.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com   ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
