そして、得られたラテックス組成物を、25℃の恒温槽中に入れ、48時間熟成させた。
市販のセラミック製手型(シンコー社製)を洗浄し、70℃のオーブン内で予備加熱した後、18重量%の硝酸カルシウムおよび0.05重量%のポリオキシエチレンラウリルエーテル(商品名「エマルゲン109P」、花王社製)を含有する凝固剤水溶液に5秒間浸漬し、凝固剤水溶液から取り出した。次いで、手型を70℃のオーブン内で30分以上乾燥させることで、手型に凝固剤を付着させて、手型を凝固剤により被覆した。その後、凝固剤で被覆された手型を、オーブンから取り出し、上記にて得られた熟成後のラテックス組成物に10秒間浸漬した。次いで、この手型を、室温で10分間風乾してから、60℃の温水中に5分間浸漬して水溶性不純物を溶出させて、手型にディップ成形層を形成した。その後、手型に形成したディップ成形層を、オーブンにより温度120℃、30分間の条件で加熱することにより加硫させた後、室温まで冷却し、タルクを散布してから手型から剥離して、手袋形状のディップ成形体を得た。そして、得られたディップ成形体について、上記方法にしたがい、500%モジュラス、引裂強度および破断伸びを測定した。結果を表2に示す。
