| abstract |
The present invention is directed to the production of elastomeric articles, such as elastomeric gloves, which can be easily stripped from forming molds, provide good tactile and gripping characteristics, and can be powder free with no halogenation or surface treatments. In general, the elastomeric articles of the invention include an ultra-thin outer layer formed of an acrylic-based polymer and a base polymer layer coagulated onto the surface of the outer layer which forms the primary matrix of the elastomeric article. The ultra-thin outer layer of the articles can be between about 0.25 microns and about 8.0 microns thick. |
