Procedure
A graft copolymer of chloroprene and ethyl methacrylate was prepared using the procedure described in Example 1 for preparation of the chloroprene/methyl methacrylate graft copolymer except that 20 parts of ethyl methacrylate was used in place of the methyl methacrylate. Polymerization proceeded at 15° C. until a conversion of approximately 78% was reached, whereupon the temperature was raised to 48° C. Polymerization was continued until the conversion was greater than 99%. The solids content of the latex was 47.2%.
