Novel one and two-part silicone dispersions are described which are suitable for applying a durable textured silicone surface on both silicone and non-silicone gloves. The non-blocking surface is obtained by dip-coating a final layer of dispersion over an article wherein the dispersion used for the final layer comprises a unique hydrophilic silica filler having a specific surface area of about 75-200 M2 per gram, at least one crosslinkable polysiloxane and a crosslinking agent. The silica particles, securely imbedded within the final layer of silicone with portions thereof extending outwardly beyond the new outer silicone surface of the gloves, present a non-blocking, non-allergenic textured surface. |
