Abstract:
A dip-molded article of a rubber other than cis-1,4-polyisoprene that is substantially pore-free, formed by a process comprising:(a) dipping a forming member in a liquid medium comprising a heat-vulcanizable composition comprising (i) a rubber-forming substance other than cis-1,4-polyisoprene and (ii) a vulcanizing agent, said forming member having an outer surface with a contour complementary to that of said article; (b) withdrawing said forming member from said liquid medium in such a manner as to leave a film of said heat vulcanizable composition over said outer surface; (c) immersing said forming member with said film thereon in a chemically inert liquid bath at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to cause vulcanization of said rubber-forming substance by said vulcanizing agent; and (d) withdrawing said forming member from said liquid bath and separating said substantially pore-free article of rubber article from said forming member.
