Latex for adhesive composition and adhesive composition

An adhesive composition comprising a latex for an adhesive composition (A) and a chloroprene based polymer latex (B),

• wherein the latex for an adhesive composition (A) comprises a polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a1), a surfactant (a2), a divalent or higher valent metal salt, and an aqueous medium, the polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a1) having a carboxy group, and the polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a1) having an average particle diameter of 0.30 to 5.00 μm measured by dynamic light scattering, and
• wherein the polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a1) is a polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a11), and the polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a11) is constituted by a hydrophobic ethylenic unsaturated monomer selected from styrene derivative, a (meth)acrylate ester, a fumarate ester, a maleate ester, a vinyl ester, an N-substituted maleimide compound, an itaconate ester, a crotonate ester, and a phthalate ester, and the hydrophobic ethylenic unsaturated monomer is contained in an amount of 50.0 to 99.5% by mass based on all ethylenic unsaturated monomers constituting the polymer of an ethylenic unsaturated monomer (a11),
• provided that the adhesive composition is not an acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive composition.
