It has been found that a chloroprene rubber composition having mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber can be obtained, which has led to the present invention.

[0011]
The content of 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene in the chloroprene copolymer A is 47 to 99.5% by weight, and when the content is less than 47% by weight, the chloroprene rubber of the rubber composition obtained from the present invention is used. If the amount exceeds 99.5% by weight, the extrusion characteristics of the chloroprene rubber composition are impaired. The content of 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene in the chloroprene polymer B is 50 to 100% by weight, and when the content is less than 50% by weight, the chloroprene rubber of the rubber composition obtained from the present invention is used.

[0012]
The comonomer contained in the chloroprene polymers A and B is not particularly limited as long as it is a monomer copolymerizable with 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene (chloroprene). Examples thereof include acrylonitrile and methacrylic acid. Monovinyl compounds such as lonitrile and vinylidene chloride; acrylic esters, methacrylic esters; aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene and α-methylstyrene; 1,3-butadiene; 1-chloro-1,3-butadiene; Conjugated diene compounds such as 1,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene, sulfur and the like, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The content of the trifunctional monomer in the chloroprene copolymer A is 0.5 to 3% by weight, and if it is less than 0.5% by weight, the extrusion characteristics of the chloroprene rubber composition obtained from the present invention are impaired. If it exceeds 3% by weight, the mechanical properties of the vulcanized rubber of the chloroprene rubber composition will be impaired. Of these, the content is particularly preferably 0.8 to 2.5% by weight.
[0014]

For example, alkyl mercaptans such as n-dodecyl mercaptan, tert-dodecyl mercaptan, octyl mercaptan, xanthogen sulfides, and benzyl iodide And iodoholm. Of these, n-dodecyl mercaptan is particularly preferred. The amount of the chain transfer agent used in the polymerization of the chloroprene copolymer A is 0.02% by weight or less based on all the monomers, and if it exceeds 0.02% by weight, the vulcanized rubber mechanical properties of the chloroprene rubber composition are reduced.

[0016]
The chloroprene polymer B is soluble in benzene, and has a Mooney viscosity of 10 to 120. If it is insoluble in benzene, the extrusion properties and mechanical properties of the chloroprene rubber composition will be impaired. On the other hand, if the Mooney viscosity is less than 10, the vulcanized rubber mechanical properties of the chloroprene rubber composition are impaired, and if it exceeds 120, the extrusion characteristics of the chloroprene rubber composition are impaired. Among them, the Mooney viscosity is particularly preferably 30 to 80.
[0017]
The mixing ratio of the chloroprene copolymer A in the chloroprene rubber composition is from 5 to 70% by weight. If it is less than 5% by weight, the extrusion characteristics of the chloroprene rubber composition are impaired. Mechanical properties are impaired. Of these, the content is particularly preferably 15 to 40% by weight.
[0018]

Further, when the Mooney viscosity of the chloroprene rubber composition after mixing the chloroprene polymers A and B is larger than the value given by the following formula (I), the extrusion characteristics of the chloroprene rubber composition and the dynamics of the vulcanizate thereof This is preferable because the characteristics are further improved.
[0020]
(50 × a) + b (I)
(In the formula, a represents the weight fraction of the chloroprene copolymer A in the chloroprene rubber composition, and b represents the Mooney viscosity of the chloroprene polymer B.)
The polymerization of the chloroprene polymers A and B of the present invention can be performed by known methods such as emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization and bulk polymerization.
