Extra coagulant is added to the cuff portion of the former by a spray
nozzle located between the coagulant and latex dipping tanks. A former is
placed into a coagulant. After removal from the coagulant, additional
coagulant to the cuff portion of the former by any conventional means,
such as a spray nozzle. The higher concentration of coagulant at the cuff
portion results in a thicker latex thickness at the cuff portion and
counteracts the reduced dwell time of the cuff in the latex dipping tank
as compared to the fingertip portion of the former. The thickness of the
cuff portion can be controlled by altering the concentration of the
coagulant applied by the spray nozzle.
