Chloroprene
Description
Chloroprene (CAS 126-99-8 ), also known as 2-chlorobutadiene, is the primary monomer used in the production of polychloroprene, one of the most commercially significant synthetic elastomers. It undergoes controlled polymerization to yield a rubber with strong resistance to oils, weathering, and flame. These properties determine its suitability across demanding industrial applications. The dominant use of this monomer is in the manufacture of neoprene rubber, where it is polymerized to produce sheets, adhesives, foams, and molded goods for global markets. In the automotive and construction sectors, polychloroprene is processed into belts, hoses, seals, and gaskets. These components must perform under mechanical stress and chemical exposure. Adhesive formulators rely on polychloroprene-based contact adhesives for bonding dissimilar substrates. This is common in footwear, furniture, and panel assembly industries. Specialty wire and cable jacketing also depends on polychloroprene for its flame-retardant characteristics. This is essential for safety in demanding electrical installations. The product is supplied as a stabilized liquid monomer, typically in bulk or isotank quantities. It is handled under inhibited conditions to prevent premature polymerization during transit. Technical-grade specifications are standard for industrial supply. Purity levels and inhibitor content are defined per buyer or process requirements to ensure consistent performance.
