Abstract: Aqueous polymer dispersions based on polychloroprene, a process for their preparation and their use in adhesive formulations. The aqueous polymer dispersion is obtained by a) preparing an aqueous polychloroprene dispersion with a gel content of 0.1 wt. %-30 wt. %, based on the polymer, prepared by polymerization at 0° C.-70° C. of chloroprene and, optionally, ethylenically unsaturated monomers which can be copolymerized with chloroprene and b) subsequently storing the dispersion at temperatures of from 50° C.-110° C. until the gel content has risen by at least 10 wt. % to 1-60 wt. %, based on the polymer.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for producing a polymer dispersion based on polychloroprene, comprising steps of polymerizing chloroprene to polychloroprene, adding the polycholoprene dispersion to a stripper column, and removing chloroprene from the polychloroprene dispersion.
