the present invention provides a method of making an elastomeric article including preparing a non - woven fibrous polymer composition for dip - coating onto a layer of carboxylated acrylonitrile - butadiene elastomeric surface and in particular making industrial or household gloves . by dipping a former into a salt - based coagulant , followed by dipping into an elastomeric dispersion , and finally dipping into a polymer composite fibrous coating , a useful elastomeric article is prepared . the invention also provides an elastomeric article having a first layer , the first layer comprising a natural or synthetic polymer ; and a second layer bonded to the first layer , the second layer comprising a polymer composite fibrous coating . the polymer composite fibrous coating includes at least one elastomer or elastomer blend , a fiber or fiber blend , a surfactant , and a micronised wax . the coating can be foamed , and provides improved sweat management and non - shredding properties to a user .
