Provided for example is a method of making an lined elastomeric article comprising: (I) applying to a base elastomer Iayer a foamed or unfoamed composite of flock fibers and aqueous elastomer, wherein (a) if the elastomer base iayer polymer component is (i) not predominantly NR or (ii) not predominantly NR plus NBR, then the elastomer of the composite comprises NBR, wherein NBR and if present acrylic latex are (1) substantial in the composite or (2) predominate in the composite, and/or wherein (b) the elastomer of the composite comprises acrylic latex, NBR and, if the elastomeric base layer is not predominantly NBR, the major elastomer of the base Iayer. |
