Abstract: The present disclosure provides a condom that includes an elongated tube defined by an outer wall that includes an elastomeric material. The elongated tube may have a closed end and an open end. The elongated tube may have a tip portion that extends a distance from the closed end toward the open end and a shaft portion that extends from the open end to the tip portion. The outer wall in the tip portion has a tip portion thickness, and the outer wall in the shaft portion has a shaft portion thickness. A ratio of the tip portion thickness to the shaft portion thickness (T/S) is about 1.5 or greater.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and products formed therefrom. In particular, the disclosure provides elastomeric latex articles, such as gloves and condoms, that can be prepared utilizing a styrene-polyisoprene-styrene (SIS) latex. The elastomeric articles can exhibit desired tensile properties while being substantially or completely free of undesired components, such as sulfur and zinc oxide, which can be allergens. The disclosure further provides methods of preparing elastomeric latex articles.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and products formed therefrom. In particular, the disclosure provides elastomeric latex articles, such as gloves and condoms, that can exhibit a desired combination of properties that can be correlated to suitable strength and softness.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and products formed therefrom. In particular, the disclosure provides polymer compositions and hydrogel-latex compositions in particular. Such compositions can include a water-soluble polymer, a natural or synthetic rubber latex, and a rheological stabilizer. The present disclosure further provides products and articles that include a coating layer of the polymer composition on at least a portion of a surface thereof. The coating formed of the polymer composition can impart improved properties to the product or article, such as improved moisture absorption, improved lubricity, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hair compositions comprising at least one lecithin, at least one amphoteric surfactant, at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one film forming polymer, and at least one cationic polymer. The compositions are preferably used to add volume to hair while maintaining the hair's natural shape and/or its curl definition.
