China, South Korea, and Japan are the leading exporters of Polychloroprene, collectively accounting for over 70% of global exports in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and Mexico represent the largest importers. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable despite modest fluctuations in Polychloroprene prices amid tightening supply from key Asian producers.
Polychloroprene is a synthetic rubber appearing as a white to light tan, non-crystalline solid in raw gum form, with a faint, characteristic chlorinated odor; it softens gradually above ~70 °C and decomposes before boiling. It is a chlorinated polymer of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene), classified as a specialty elastomer. Primarily used as a base polymer for technical rubber goods, it serves as a key material in the production of adhesives, conveyor belts, hoses, seals, gaskets, and protective gloves. Its resistance to oil, ozone, weathering, and flame makes it especially valuable in automotive, industrial, marine, and protective equipment applications.
