MERCAPTANE-MODIFIED POLYCHLOROPRENE LATEX AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR

To provide a polychloroprene latex from which a dip-formed film that is excellent in mechanical properties while having flexibility can be obtained. The polychloroprene latex is a mercaptan-modified polychloroprene latex comprising polychloroprene that is a copolymer of chloroprene and 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene, wherein in a solid state 13C NMR spectrum of the polychloroprene obtained by freeze-drying the mercaptan-modified polychloroprene latex, an area (A) of a peak at 126.2 to 127.6 ppm, an area (B) of a peak at 122.0 to 126.2 ppm and an area (C) of a peak at 129.9 to 130.3 ppm are in the ranges represented by the following expression (I), an amount of the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene copolymerized is 4 to 35% by mass per 100% by mass in total of the chloroprene and the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene contained in the polychloroprene, and a toluene-insoluble content of the polychloroprene is 50 to 100% by mass in 100% by mass of the polychloroprene.4.0100≦AB−C≦5.8100
