ARTICLE CONTAINING BOTH THERMOPLASTIC AND ELASTOMER

A latex formulation comprising elastomer, thermoplastic, accelerator, antifoaming agent, antioxidant, crosslinker, colouring agent, surfactant, filler, pH adjuster and dispersing medium, wherein the latex formulation has a total solid content ranging between 5% by weight to 40% by weight. Further, the present invention discloses a method of preparing a latex formulation to manufacture a glove containing both thermoplastic and elastomer, wherein the method comprises the steps of blending elastomer with thermoplastic to produce a dispersion containing both thermoplastic and elastomer and stirring the dispersion containing both thermoplastic and elastomer, adding while stirring accelerator, antifoaming agent, antioxidant, crosslinker, colouring agent, surfactant and filler one after another with no particular order and followed by pH adjuster into the dispersion containing both thermoplastic and elastomer to produce latex formulation and stirring the latex formulation continuously and allowing the latex formulation to mature, wherein total solid content of the latex formulation is adjusted to be between 5% by weight to 40%by weight by way of addition of dispersing medium into the latex formulation and wherein pH range of the latex formulation is adjusted to be between 9 to 11.
