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.
