General Neoprene Latex Information: Neoprene latexes are aqueous colloidal dispersions of polychloroprene or of copolymers of chloroprene with other monomers such as methacrylic acid or 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene. They are available in both anionic and nonionic surfactant systems. All neoprene latexes have a unique combination of inherent characteristics including excellent film formation; high cohesive strength without curing; elastomeric properties over a wide temperature range; and considerable resistance to degradation from chemical or environmental exposure. Uses include adhesives, binders, coatings, dipped goods, elasticized asphalt and concrete, and foam.
