ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to breathable elastomeric articles. The articles of the present invention may allow the transmission of water vapor while still providing an effective barrier to virus, bacteria, contaminants, bodily fluids, and the like. In general, a breathability additive may be incorporated into the polymer matrix of one or more layers of the elastomeric article to improve the breathability of the layer.
