Abstract: Provided among other things is an elastomeric article providing a chemical barrier, the article having a layered structure comprising a sequential laminate of: (a) a latex-based elastomeric polymeric barrier layer; (b) a non-reactive tie adhesive resin layer comprising oxo (—(C?O)—) groups; and (c) a polyamide layer; wherein the layered structure has a first side nearest the latex-based elastomeric polymeric barrier layer and a second side; wherein the layered structure is effective to provide a chemical permeation time in excess of 100 minutes pursuant to EN 16523-1:2015 for benchmark solvents of acetone, ethyl acetate and methanol, when applied to the first side, and in excess of 100 minutes for acetone when applied to the second side; and wherein the elastomeric layer is primarily not polyolefin.

Abstract: Polymeric articles having an outer polymeric layer of a non-foamed polymeric composition, an inner foamed layer of a foamed second polymeric composition disposed on the outer polymeric layer, wherein the outer polymeric layer is thicker than the inner foamed layer, and methods for manufacturing the polymeric articles, are disclosed.

Abstract: Fluid repellent coatings including a silicone coating for elastomeric gloves, and methods for treating gloves having elastomeric coatings, are disclosed.
