PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elastomeric film that does not contain allergens, uses synthetic polymers, is suitable for making synthetic gloves in which the wearer has good sensitivity, to enable the wearer to work comfortably with small instruments, and is strong enough not to have, or develop, defects.SOLUTION: Disclosed is a composition for producing an elastomeric film, comprising: a synthetic polymer, sulphur, and a metal-oxide cross-linking agent. The concentration of the total solids in the composition is between 5-20% by weight of the composition. Also disclosed is a multiple-coating method of manufacturing an elastomeric film, comprising the steps of: (i) providing a composition comprising a synthetic polymer and a metal-oxide cross-linking agent, wherein the concentration of the total solids in the composition is between 5-20% by weight of the composition; (ii) contacting the composition with a mold to form a layer of composition on the mold; (iii) contacting the layer of composition on the mold with a further amount of the composition to form a further layer; (iv) drying the composition; and (v) curing the composition.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
