Glove rejects can be loaded as a filler in the formula used (NR 100, ZnO 5 stearic acid 1,
MBT 1, S 1, B HT 1 and calcium carbonate 40 phr.) up to 100 phr with giving good properties such
as cure time, tensile strength, 300% modulus, elongation at break, tear strength, crack growth and abrasion index except scorch time and extrusion which show a shorter time and rougher surface as higher loaded, respectively. A safety amount for obtaining good properties in scorch time and extru-sion process by Garvey die is 40 phr. Powder gloves show a different cure time and scorch time from chlorinated gloves but had no significant results in all physical properties.
