Polychloroprene Adhesives

Polychloroprene, developed in the 1930s as a substitute for natural rubber, is an extremely versatile synthetic elastomer that offers a unique combination of adhesive properties. Polychloroprene-based adhesives provide outstanding toughness, chemical resistance, weathering resistance, heat resistance, oil and chemical resistance, as well as very rapid bond strength development. In contact adhesive applications, they develop an "instant bond" which allows assembled components to be immediately processed without clamping or fixturing.

Typical applications for polychloroprene-based adhesives include:

• Footwear constructions
• Lamination of furniture, kitchen cabinets and countertops, interior and exterior panels
• Automotive trim attachment
• Aluminum foil laminates for food packaging and HVAC
