The present invention provides a method of making an elastomeric article including
preparing a non-woven fibrous polymer composition for dip-coating onto a layer
of carboxylated acrylonitrile-butadiene elastomeric surface and in particular making
industrial or household gloves. By dipping a former into a salt-based coagulant,
followed by dipping into an elastomeric dispersion, and finally dipping into a
polymer composite fibrous coating, a useful elastomeric article is prepared. The
invention also provides an elastomeric article having a first layer, the first
layer comprising a natural or synthetic polymer; and a second layer bonded to the
first layer, the second layer comprising a polymer composite fibrous coating. The
polymer composite fibrous coating includes at least one elastomer or elastomer
blend, a fiber or fiber blend, a surfactant, and a micronised wax. The coating
can be foamed, and provides improved sweat management and non-shredding properties
to a user.
