Abstract: Process for producing a cationic polychloroprene latex by homo- or copolymerizing chloroprene in an aqueous emulsion in the presence of ammonium salts of inorganic or organic acids as emulsifiers wherein the polymerization is carried out in presence of an alkaline earth and/or alkali salt of an organic carboxylic acid or in presence of a mixture of Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 and KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4.
