According to GlobalData’s company profile on DL, Polyeolefin resins was a key innovation area identified from patents. DL's grant share as of March 2024 was 54%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11931931B2) discloses a method for forming dip-molded articles using a unique process. The method involves dipping a mold into a first latex composition containing a cross-linker component, followed by dipping it into a second latex composition free of the cross-linker to form a laminated film. The film is then cured by heating and removed from the mold via inversion. The compositions are prepared from a synthetic isoprene block copolymer with specific characteristics, and the resulting articles can include films, balloons, gloves, electrical insulation gloves, industrial gloves, or condoms.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a laminated article comprising at least two layers formed using a similar process. The first layer contains a cross-linker component, while the second layer is free of it. The article is formed by dipping a mold into the respective latex compositions, curing the layers by heating, and inverting the article to ensure the correct orientation of the layers. The compositions used in this process are also prepared from a synthetic isoprene block copolymer with specific structural features, ensuring the quality and performance of the resulting laminated articles.
