Elastomeric articles (eg, gloves, condoms, etc.) are provided that include a chemical protective layer that does not substantially dissolve when applied with certain chemicals or solvents such as methyl methacrylate. The chemical protective layer contains at least one crosslinked modified silicone elastomer. For example, in one embodiment, the modified silicone chemical protective layer covers the outer surface of the styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (S-EB-S) block copolymer substrate and the resulting elastomeric article. Gives relative chemical resistance. |
