Percolative surface textured polymeric latex coating for a fabric supported glove and method of making

A latex article with a thin, flexible percolative structure comprising:

• an outer polymeric latex layer comprising a foamed polymeric latex material with a plurality of latex bubbles;
• and
• an inner layer of fabric material, comprising natural and synthetic fibers, the outer polymeric latex layer being disposed onto the fabric material;
• wherein the outer polymeric layer is chemically texturized by spraying atomized aqueous silicone or non-silicone based surface active agent onto the foamed polymeric latex material with a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar that collapses cell walls of the latex bubbles without penetrating through to form spherical cell windows, followed by removing the stripped polymeric latex material from the outer polymeric layer by a gently flowing fluid to produce a percolative structure on the outer polymeric layer that includes a distribution of the spherical cell windows having an average diameter in a range of 10 microns to 50 microns surrounded with struts and strut joints.
