| Zeller International manufactures single component, two component
reactive and hot meltable polymers which are used as membrane-forming thin-thick films on
fiber-rubber-leather gloves. |
| Rubber surface finishes on cotton and synthetic fabric based gloves are
routinely dip applied by dunking-submerging gloves into a wet bath of liquid polymers that
range from fast drying solvent based synthetic elastomers to hot melt compositions. |
| Zeller Internationals film forming elastomers are easy to use
formulations that rapidly gel and fuse at room temperature. |
| Available in clear or pigmented formulas our compounds are used for
abrasion resistant demanding trades such as brick, stone, and masonry trades. |
| Non slip textured grippy elastomers are available for wet slippery
requirements. |
| |
| Our products include: |
| |
| Neotex™ |
| A water based neoprene latex which air dries to a snappy rubber
resembling natural latex rubber. Neotex™ skins-films quickly
on cotton or synthetic textiles. Single or repeat dips re-fuse-bond together without
de-laminating or separation. |
| Neotex™ accepts pigments and fillers for textures and colorful tones
from basic opaque to Hot Radiant Day Glo™ pigments. |
| Dipped gloves air dry or can be force dried with heat in an oven or
drying chamber. |
| Available in red, black, and natural colors. |
| Neotex™ can be thickened gelled for high build wear resistant areas. |
| Neotex™ is an odorless water based elastomer which aggressively
adheres to saturated fabrics. |
| |
| Cleartex™ |
| A crystal clear solvent based super stretchable thermoplastic elastomer
with high physical properties. |
| Soft pliable and tear resistant. Cleartex™ can be tinted with
pigments and dyes for a range of opaque or translucent results such as glow in the dark
effects, hot colors for traffic patrol-flight deck gloves. |
| Cleartex™ dries at room temperature or faster with moderate warmth. |
| Higher-thicker build up are feasible by repeat dipping or by thickening
with Thix™
additive. |
| Cleartex™ accepts anti static bacteriostatic-anti microbial additives.
Cleartex** is a snappy very soft rubber with excellent anti slip
characteristics. A grippy elastomer suitable for glass trades plumbing and problematic
handling tasks. |
| Very easy to use-durable and comfortable. Cleartex™ is excellent for
ergonomic safety gloves in warehouse and manufacturing operations. |
| Well accepted by fishermen and sea food handlers-processors. Cleartex™ is superb for
icy-slick-cold conditions. |
| Cleartex™ can be used for repairs-restoration and specific pattern
build up. |
| |
| Zelflex™ |
| A water based milky emulsion which dries clear. Zelflex™ is a unique aqueous
polyurethane based latex polymer which also air dries to a firm coating on fabric based
gloves. |
| Zelflex™ has a rubbery vinyl like feel and has been used for several
years to bridge a film on gloves for plastics-metal handling-polishing operations. Zelflex™ aggressively adheres
to synthetic textiles. |
| Softer properties are adjusted by adding-co blending Zelflex II™ a sister product
which is also water based. Zelflex II™ is similar to regular
Zelflex™
but with a softer hand. |
| Zelflex™ dries crystal clear enabling logo's-brand marks and
promotional advertising copy to be seen through the coating which can be built up to any
thickness. |
| Quartz, carborundum or sand grains can be embedded into the wet dipping
for additional grab and grip. |
| Pigments, dyes are easily dispersed for saturated color. |
| Crepe like variegated patterns are achievable by adding specialty
chemicals, fine ground cork, tire crumb fillers. Ceramic spheres for heat resistance and
fire retardant additives for a non flammable-non ignitable surface. |
| |
| Zelflex II™ |
| A water based modified acrylic latex polymer which dries to a very soft
elastomer. Zelflex II™ is also used as a property moderator for regular Zeltex™. Physical properties
are customized to suit variable tensile, tear, elongation and durometer specifications. |
| NOTE! Both Zelflex™ compounds can dry at
room temperature or by force drying in an air circulated oven. |
| Request our drawing for building your own drying chamber. |
| |
| "Soft Gels" |
| Single component melt-and-pour soft impact absorbing gels and elastomers
for knuckle-palm and sensitive area protection. |
| Hot melt thermoplastic compounds which are used to pour preformed raised
area cushions and contoured shapes for heat-abrasion absorbing applications to avoid
rope-cable-wire handling burns. |
| Additionally these materials can be injected for conformal shock
attenuating ergonomic job fatigue related injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Form
fitting personalized shapes that match assembly line production tools-hammers, drills and
impact wrenches are pre cast and bonded to the glove form. Additional overcoat dip applied
films secure the soft gel shape to the gloves fibrous surface. |
| A range of densities-hardness properties are available for demanding
tasks. |
| |
| Cleartex-Gel
Cast™ |
| A single component clear elastomer very soft, springy and reboundable.
Accepts pigments and fillers for modulous adjustments base durometer-shore "A"
of 5. |
| Melts, pours and cools rapidly for production requirements. |
| |
| Zelatin™ |
| A semi solid amber elastomer. Melts rapidly and sets to a firmer
elastomer very tacky and adhesional to fibers. Hardness values of "15" are
adaptable by adding-co blending with "Extendoflex™" a property
modifying lubricant. |
| |
| Zelly
Jelly™ |
| A clear meltable gelatinous encapsulating gel. Soft and squishy with a
springy feel. Zelly Jelly™ is an exotic hybrid elastomer. Its properties and feel is
different from Cleartex Gel Cast™ and Zelatin™. It too can be
modified with Extendoflex™ and other additives for tonal properties to suit specific
barrier requirements such as core filled-ablative gloves for thermal-heat sinking uses. |
| |
| Fleshtex-Clear™ |
| A two component reactive polyurethane elastomer which sets-cures at room
temperature to a flexible shore A of 25. Softer variants are adjusted by adding part
"c" a flexabilizer-softening agent. |
| Mixed on an easy ratio proportioning of one to one by volume. Fleshtex-Clear™ is a pourable liquid
rubber with excellent tear resistance. |
| Poured impact sections, liners and cores are hand or machine poured for
thick-thin cross sections. |
| Heat or elevated catalyst levels can be used to rapidly cure and set cast
shapes. |
| Fleshtex-Clear™ can be pigmented and filled with specialized conductive-
anti static additives. |
| Softer results with part "c'" enable processors to obtain
variable results from a shore A of 25 downward to a gel like elastomer of minus 10. |
| |
| Specialty polymers |
| Zeller International custom formulates a wide range of specialty polymers
for several industries. Since 1921 we have excelled in supplying natural and synthetic
latex compounds. |
| With a focus on allergen-protein rash/irritation free chemistries our
skin kind polymers, lubricating gels and specialties are alternative materials to
conventional systems. |
| Routinely we consult with clients to engineer processing facilities,
develop new products and solve problems. |
| We have participated in programs to add comfort, deter fatigue and
enhance safety. |
| If its glove-gauntlet oriented we can help to make it better, faster and
with competitive results. |
