Conventional carboxylated neoprene latex adhesives are improved with respect to their metal adhesion, heat and water resistance and bonding range by the addition thereto of an epoxy resin, preferably an epoxy resin prepared by the reaction of para-aminophenol with epichlorohydrin.

Neoprene latex contact adhesives

The metal adhesion and heat and water resistance of conventional neoprene latex adhesives are improved by the addition thereto of a polyfunctional amine and an epoxy resin wherein for every 100 parts by weight of dry neoprene, the epoxy is added in an amount of 10-40 parts and the amine is added in an amount sufficient to provide 50-150% of the stoichiometric amount required to cure the epoxy.
