| abstract |
An elastomeric article (e.g., glove, condom, etc.) that includes a chemical protection layer that will not substantially dissolve when applied with certain chemicals or solvents, such as methyl methyacrylate, is provided. Th e chemical protection layer contains at least one crosslinked, modified silico ne elastomer. For example, in one embodiment, the modified silicone chemical protection layer covers the outer surface of a styrene-ethylene-butylene- styrene (S-EB-S) block copolymer substrate body to impart relative chemical resistance to the resulting elastomeric article. |
