Development of Adhesive for Wetsuits

Abstract

The article presents research on the development of a chloroprene adhesive for lamination of chloroprene rubber with polyamide fabric, which is intended for wetsuits and multilayer rubber-fabric products. Special attention is paid to the selection of rubbers and solvents, and to the analysis of the influence of formulation and processing factors on the properties of the adhesive. Based on the research results, a basic composition of an adhesive with a specific viscosity is proposed, which has characteristics comparable to those of imported adhesives.
