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-shedding
properties to a user.
