  Article - Polychloroprene Contact Adhesives
Polychloroprene or chloroprene rubber (CR), introduced by DuPont in 1931, was the first synthetic rubber developed that exhibited the elastomeric properties of natural rubber.
Polychloroprene contact adhesives are used for bonding high-pressure laminates, automotive trim, roofing-membrane attachment, furniture, kitchen cabinets, custom display cabinets, interior and exterior panels, wall partitions, shoe soles, and many other applications where quick, high-strength, permanent bonds are needed.
Polychloroprene rubbers can be dissolved in a wide variety of polar and non-polar organic solvents to provide a range of solution viscosities and drying times, all with good solution stability.

Polychloroprene rubber (CR) gloves are very supple and come fairly close to NRL gloves in terms of feel, comfort and physical properties.
It is possible to blend polychloroprene latex with other synthetic latexes, like nitrile, but this must be done with care in order to preserve the latex stability both before and after mixing with the vulcanizing materials.
Polychloroprene presents the desirable properties to be a component of the blends needed for glove industry.

 Dynamically cured thermoplastic olefin polymers - Patent 4851468
While polychloroprene is disclosed as one of the conjugated diene rubbers, it is one of many rubbers disclosed, and no preference is taught nor do any examples illustrate the use of polychloroprene or any benefit derived therefrom.
The polychloroprene rubber is the primary contributor to oil resistance and enhances resilience of the DVA composition of this invention.
On the other hand, polychloroprene is not ordinarily compatible with ethylene copolymer resins while halogenated butyl rubber is. The halogenated butyl rubber serves to "compatibilize" the polychloroprene with the ethylene copolymer resin and should be present at a level of at least 25 wt% based on the total rubber.

 Neoprene
This gave it a niche market and it went into production in 1931 as Neoprene, the first commercially successful synthetic rubber polymer which is still in production today.
The chemical name for the elastomer is polychloroprene, Neoprene being DuPont’s trade name, but, like Hoover, the word has now been accepted as generic.
The early material was still not perfect as it had poor colour, a strong smell and was not particularly stable but these defects were cured with the advent of solution polymerization and a particular advantage was found in that differing polymerization processes gave Neoprenes with differing properties.

 Plea Agreement : U.S. v. Syndial S.p.A.
Polychloroprene rubber, also known as "chloroprene rubber," "polychloroprene," "PCP," or "butaclor," is a specific type of synthetic rubber which has end-use applications in the automotive, adhesives, and construction industries.
Polychloroprene rubber is produced by free radical initiated emulsion polymerization of chloroprene or emulsion co-polymerization of chloroprene and at least one other co-monomer, and optionally, other additives.
During the relevant period, the defendant, through its officers and employees, participated in a conspiracy among major polychloroprene rubber producers, the primary purpose of which was to suppress and eliminate competition by fixing the price of polychloroprene rubber sold in the United States and elsewhere.

 Chloroprene polymer - Patent 5089601
Such hydroxyl group-terminated polychloroprene can be cured by a polyfunctional compound such as a polyvalent isocyanate or a polyvalent acid chloride compound, and it is useful as a sticking agent, an adhesive, a sealant, a coating material or a resin modifier.
According to the present invention, polychloroprenes having hydroxyl groups at both terminals and polychloroprenes having dithiocarbamate groups at both terminals can be obtained, which can be cured by a polyfunctional compound such--as a polyvalent isocyanate or a polyvalent acid chloride compound and which are useful as polymer initiators useful for the production of block copolymers.
Thus, it was concluded that the initiator was bifunctional, and this polymer was an ABA type block copolymer composed of.alpha.-methylstyrene polymer block A and polychloroprene block B, from the change of the molecular weight and the microphase-separated structure of the polymer.

 Polychloroprene Market Study Report - European Adhesives Industry
This raw material market report on polychloroprene includes all grades of polychloroprene polymers, which are currently sold in solid form and as lattices.
Various grades of solid polychloroprene, which generally differ in level of crystallinity, are available commercially for using solvent based adhesives.
Solvent based polychloroprene adhesives are generally sold as contact adhesives, which are formulated using a polychloroprene rubber, a tackifying resin (most commonly a proprietary butyl phenol based phenolic resole) and antioxidants/acid scavengers, such as metal oxide.

 Article - Contact Adhesives
Polychloroprene elastomers prepared for solvent based adhesive formulation can be dissolved in a wide variety of polar and non-polar solvents.
Polychloroprene latex contact adhesive can be prepared by blending a suitable latex with a tackifying resin emulsion.
Polyurethane adhesives are often chosen over polychloroprene adhesives when greater resistance to plasticizer migration is required or difficult to bond polymeric substrates are involved.

 The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Butyl, Polychloroprene, and Stereo Polyisoprene Elastomers - Market Research Report
It is for this definition of butyl, polychloroprene, and stereo polyisoprene elastomers that the aggregate latent demand estimates are derived.
Based on the aggregate view of butyl, polychloroprene, and stereo polyisoprene elastomers as defined above, data were then collected for as many similar countries as possible for that same definition, at the same level of the value chain.
For these countries, equilibrium latent demand is assumed to be perfectly parametric and not a function of wealth (i.e., a country’s stock of income), but a function of current income (a country’s flow of income).

 Plea Agreement : U.S. v. Dupont Dow Elastomers L.L.C.
During the relevant period, the defendant was a producer of polychloroprene rubber, was engaged in the sale of polychloroprene rubber in the United States and elsewhere, and employed 1,000 or more individuals.
Polychloroprene rubber, also known as "chloroprene rubber," "polychloroprene," "PCP," or "neoprene," is a specific type of synthetic rubber which has end-use applications in the automotive, adhesives, and construction industries.
The United States contends that had this case gone to trial, the United States would have presented evidence to prove that the gain derived from or the loss resulting from the charged offense is sufficient to justify a fine of $84 million, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3571(d).

 Polychloroprene — Different Types of Chloroprene Rubber ( CR )
General-purpose grades are mostly produced with n-dodecyl mercaptan as the chain transfer agent and occasionally with xanthogen disulfides.
If xanthogen disulfides are used, the elastomers are more readily processible and give vulcanizates with improved mechanical properties.
Precrosslinked grades consist of a blend of soluble polychloroprene and crosslinked polychloroprene.
