The present invention addresses the problem of providing a
chloroprene-based
polymer from which a dip-molded article can be obtained, said dip-molded article having sufficient tensile strength at break and flexibility and being capable of maintaining flexibility even after long-term storage. According to the present invention, provided is a
chloroprene polymer containing
chloroprene monomer units and 2, 3-dichloro-1, 3-butadiene
monomer units, the chloroprene
polymer containing 12-30% by
mass of 2, 3-dichloro-1, 3-butadiene
monomer units per 100% by
mass of the total of the chloroprene monomer units and the 2, 3-dichloro-1, 3-butadiene monomer units, and the chloroprene polymer containing 2, 3-dichloro-1, 3-butadiene monomer units per 100% by
mass of the total of the chloroprene monomer units and the 2, 3-dichloro-1, 3-butadiene monomer units. The chloroprene polymer latex composition for a test, which contains the chloroprene polymer, is molded by a dip solidification method, and the chloroprene polymer latex composition contains a 1, 3-butadiene monomer unit and a
toluene-insoluble component of the chloroprene polymer is 60-87 mass%. The test dip-molded article obtained by heating and
drying at 130 DEG C for 30 minutes has a low-temperature
hardness change [
Delta] H1 of 29 or less, the low-temperature
hardness change [
Delta] H1 denotes HB1-HA1, and HA1 denotes that after the test dip-molded article is heated at 70 DEG C for 30 minutes, the test dip-molded article is superimposed to a thickness of 6.00 + / -0.20 mm, and the test dip-molded article has a thickness of 6.00 + / -0.20 mm. The
Shore hardness measured in an environment of 23 DEG C using a Type A durometer, HB1 being heat-treated at 70 DEG C for 30 minutes, and after the dip-molded article for test is stored at-10 DEG C for 168 hours, the dip-molded article for test is overlaid to a thickness of 6.00 + / -0.20 mm, and the thickness of the dip-molded article for test is 6.00 + / -0.20 mm. The test dip-molded product is obtained by
gas chromatography of an extract obtained by extracting the test dip-molded product with an
ethanol /
toluene azeotropic mixture as stipulated in JIS K 6229 using a
Shore hardness measured in an environment of-10 DEG C using a Type A durometer; the ratio RB / RA of the total amount RB of the peak areas of
abietic acid, neoabietic acid, longifolic acid, levopimaric acid, and salts thereof to the total amount RA of the peak areas of
dehydroabietic acid,
pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, dihydroabietic acid, and salts thereof is 0.10-0.70.
