Description

Polychloroprene has an appearance of milky white, beige or light brown flakes or blocks, with a molecular weight of 88.5355 and a density of 1.23 g/mL (at 25 °C). Polychloroprene is soluble in toluene, xylene, chloroform, and ethylene dichloride, slightly soluble in acetone, butanone, ethyl acetate, and cyclohexane, and insoluble in n-hexane and solvent gasoline. Polychloroprene has good physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Compared with natural rubber, it has a high density, is resistant to water and hydrocarbon solvents, has low permeability to many gases, has good degradation properties to oxygen, ozone, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and other chemicals, has a certain degree of flame retardancy, and a decomposition temperature of 230-260 °C. It can be used for a long time at 80-100 °C.

Polychloroprene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Synthetic rubber obtained by emulsion free radical polymerization of chloroprene is mostly produced by batch polymerization. Sulfur-thiuram or thiol is used as molecular weight regulator, the polymerization temperature is 40-600℃, and the conversion rate is about 90%.

Uses

Polychloroprene is a (Solid) Mechanical rubber products, lining oil-loading hose and reaction equipment, adhesive cement, binder for rocket fuels, coatings for electric wiring, gaskets and seals. (Liquid) Specialty items made by dipping or electrophoresis from the latex. (Foam) Adhesive tape to replace metal fasteners for automotive accessories, seat cushions, carpet backing, sealant.
