Developments with Polychloroprene

  • Chapter
Developments in Rubber Technology—2

Part of the book series: The Developments Series ((POLS,volume 37))

Summary

Developments in polychloroprene since 1939 are briefly reviewed in chronological order. Recent manufacturing trends are discussed, particularly the switch to butadiene in place of acetylene as feed stock. The latest developments in polychloroprene including a new sulphur modified type and the introduction of superior processing polymers are reviewed. Alternatives to ethylene thiourea as the vulcanisation accelerator for polychloroprene are proposed. The selection of the correct type of polymer for a given application is discussed, also compounding to develop specific properties in polychloroprene compounds. Developments in processing including continuous curing of extrusions, injection moulding and powder mixing are reviewed.
