Abstract
A process for polymerizing chloroprene which may contain as much as 50% by weight of a copolymerizable monomer, in an alkaline aqueous emulsion, of which the alkali ions at least partially consist of potassium, into a latex rich in solid matter having a solid content of from 50 to 65% by weight in the presence of an alkali salt of disproportionated abietic acid and a formaldehyde condensate with naphthalene sulphonic acid and also an alkali hydroxide, whereby polymerization is carried out until there is a conversion of more than 90% characterized in that PA0 (a) the aqueous phase contains from 2.8 to 3.8 parts by weight of an alkali salt of disproportionated abietic acid, from 0.3 to 2.0 parts by weight of a formaldehyde condensate of a naphthalene sulphonic acid and from 0.25 to 0.75 parts by weight of an alkali phosphate and/or polyphosphate, based on 100 parts by weight of monomer, and PA0 (b) polymerization is initiated using formamidine sulphinic acid.
