TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The process further comprises crosslinking step after applying the last layer; and applying the film, after the application of one or more layers of the composition on the mold. The mold is coated with a film comprising textile, non-woven, waterproof-breathable membrane, before applying the composition. The application of a coagulant layer is on the mold or between two layers, after applying the last layer of the composition. The mold is made by soaking. Preferred Composition: The composition comprises dry matter content of 15-50 wt.%. Preferred Components: The hydrophilic compound is: ethers and esters, cellulose, fibers, or fluff or cellulose fluff; and carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methylcellulose, methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, preferably carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose. The hydrophilic crosslinking agent is dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea, N-methylolacrylamide, melanin-formaldehyde resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, polyamide epichlorohydrin resin, polycarboxylic acid comprising citric acid, polymaleic acid, polyacrylic acid, 1,2,3,4-butane tetracarboxylic acid and 1,2,3-propane tricarboxylic acid, carboxylic acid polymer comprising acrylic acid polymers, maleic acid polymers. The hydrophilic crosslinking agent is present at 3-20 wt.%. The hydrophilic compound is present at 10-50 wt.%, preferably 10-40 wt.% of the elastomer. The mold in the shape of a hand and the article is a glove. The waterproof-breathable film verifies at least one of the properties: vapor permeability measured according to ASTM E96 method B, being greater than or equal to 300 g/m2/24 hours; resistance to water penetration measured according to ISO 811, being greater than or equal to 8000Pa; stress-strain in tension (ISO 37) elongation at break, being greater than or equal to 200%; residual deformation after elongation of 100%, measured according to ISO 2285, being less than or equal to 5%; and resistance to penetration of water (measured according to ISO 811) after pre-treatment with an abrasion test (according to EN530 standard method 2), being greater than or equal to 8000 Pa (the abrasion test is conducted with a abrasive grain 240 by applying 100 cycles and pressure on the specimen 9+0.2 kPa).    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The elastomer is natural rubber, synthetic polyisoprene, butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers, butadiene/acrylonitrile/methacrylic acid terpolymer, polychloroprene, isoprene/isobutylene copolymers, (non)carboxylated styrene/butadiene copolymer, polyurethane, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, acrylic, fluorinated elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers comprising styrene block copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers derived from polyolefins or thermoplastics polyurethane.
