High-solids polychloroprene latices are obtained by using chloroprene, which may contain up to 50% by weight of a copolymerizable monomer, in an aqueous alkaline emulsion which contains emulsifiers and other conventional auxiliaries, in the presence of 0.1 to 2% by weight of a primary or secondary Hydroxyalkylamines, in which the OH group is separated from the amino nitrogen by at least 2 carbon atoms, polymerize, the polymerization being carried out up to a conversion in excess of 80. |
