Abstract: Method for producing a cross-linked elastomer in which a mixture is produced comprising at least one latex and at least one starter component for initiating the cross-linking reaction or a latex that bears at least one starter component or starter group, in particular in liquid phase. A photoinitiator is used as a starter component, which photoinitiator, through irradiation with electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet (UV light) and/or visible spectral range forms a reactive species. The latex mixture is irradiated with UV light and/or visible light.
