Compositions for synthetic polyisoprene latex articles

A method of making a synthetic polyisoprene article comprising:

• dipping a former into a polymeric, elastomeric, or latex coating composition comprising a blend of a synthetic polyisoprene material to form a layer atop the former, wherein the blend of a synthetic polyisoprene material comprises a pre-vulcanized polyisoprene component and non-prevulcanized polyisoprene component;
• and
• curing the layer to form a cured synthetic polyisoprene film with pre-vulcanized polyisoprene component and non-prevulcanized polyisoprene component bonded by mono-sulfidic and/or di-sulfidic, and poly-sulfidic crosslinks, wherein the poly-sulfidic crosslinks are present in an amount of 60 to 79 percent of a total amount of crosslinks in the film;
• wherein the cured synthetic polyisoprene film comprises pre-vulcanized synthetic polyisoprene particles present in an amount of 65 to 95 percent weight of the cured synthetic polyisoprene film, and non-prevulcanized synthetic polyisoprene particles present in an amount of 5 to 35 percent weight of the cured synthetic polyisoprene film.
