The present invention provides an elastomeric composition for making elastomeric articles having at least one layer, such as but not limited to condoms, which have a deformation stress or modulus below about 1.5 MPa at 500% extension, comprising at least one polymeric material, at least one plasticizer and optionally at least one coating. The elastomeric articles also have unique tactile and tensile properties, such as conformability and low radius of curvature.

The invention relates to a flame-proofed polymeric composition suitable for coating workpieces, containing a vinyl acetate-containing thermoplastic polymer and an unsaturated elastomer containing double bonds as polymeric components, wherein the polymeric components are present in the form of a homogeneous polymeric mixture, and a mixture matrix vulcanized exclusively by a sulphur or sulphur-containing crosslinking system is formed, wherein the sulphur crosslinking system extends across the entire matrix and permeates the matrix completely, andat least one flame retardant or a combination of flame retardants. The invention further relates to articles produced therefrom, and to composite elements coated with this composition and to a method for producing the same.
