High‐abrasion furnace black (HAF, grade N330) filled nonsulfur modified powdered polychloroprene rubber [P(CR231/HAF)] was prepared with the method of carbon black–rubber latex coagulation using CR231 latex as raw rubber material, HAF as reinforcing filler, and polymeric resin as coating resin. The influence of the content of dispersing agent and coating resin on contact staining and dispersion properties of carbon black in P(CR231/HAF) were investigated. The results show that the addition of dispersing agent and coating resins can decrease the contact staining level of carbon black effectively. When the dispersing agent/HAF (w/w) ratio was 0.12 or 0.1, 10 phr coating resin was added, and P(CR231/HAF) without contact staining can be prepared. The analysis on scanning electron microscopy and surface energy spectrum showed that free carbon black crumb on the surface and inner of P(CR231/HAF) particles causes its contact staining. The well dispersion of carbon black in the P(CR231/HAF) can eliminate contact staining effectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 192–196, 2006
