Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making articles comprised of a body portion of an elastomeric material having a liner of an inert material covering at least a portion of the peripheral surface of said body portion including the steps of bonding a layer of elastomeric material to one face of a layer of the inert material, positioning the bonded layers in a mold cavity with the layer of inert material contacting at least a portion of the surface of a mold cavity, adding additional amounts of uncured elastomeric material to the mold cavity and vulcanizing the elastomeric materials. Also disclosed herein is a system and apparatus for making molded articles as well as the molded articles produced thereby.

Abstract: A plastisol composition containing as the resin component a copolymer of a normal .alpha.-olefin and maleic anhydride (1:1 mole ratio) having the structure ##STR1## WHEREIN B is a member of the group consisting of ##STR2## and the hydrolysis product thereof, ##STR3## R is H or C.sub.x H.sub.2x+1, x is 1 to 16 and n is 2-300, and a plasticizer for said resin component. The plastisol when fluxed can be used as a closure gasket for containers.
