The composition of the invention comprises the combination of a specific retarder (vulcanization inhibitor) and at least one of two specific accelerators, and such composition prevents premature vulcanization of the chloroprene while it is being mixed and processed, yet provides excellent cure characteristics at the proper time, producing polymeric products with excellent dynamic properties.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1985Date of Patent: July 28, 1987Assignee: Dayco Products, Inc.Inventor: Gerald C. Hollaway, Jr.
