Abstract
Abstract Nontacky, elastomeric shaped objects (e.g., pellets or filaments) comprising a normally tacky, uncured elastomer having an integral, porous coating of silicic or aluminic acid polymer can be prepared by bringing shaped bodies of a normally tacky, uncured elastomer latex into contact with an aqueous bath containing a soluble coagulating salt for the latex, and a silicic or aluminic acid polymer, and washing and drying the resulting coated shaped objects. The shaped objects are highly porous before washing and drying, and some porosity remains even after washing and drying.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A washed and dried nontacky, elastomeric shaped object which comprises a normally tacky, uncured elastomer containing, based on the total weight of the shaped object, less than 3% by weight of water soluble material and less than 1% by weight of volatile material, and having 0.05 to 3% by weight of an integral, porous coating of a water insoluble, hydrous, inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silicic acid polymers, aluminic acid polymers, silicic acid-aluminic acid copolymers, and mixtures thereof, substantially all of said inorganic oxide being present as a coating, and said shaped object having a minimum dimension of 0.01 to 10 millimeters.
