Carboxylated SBR latex can be considered for carpet backing formulations where the interaction between the latex binder, fibers, fillers, and backing materials requires evaluation.
Compared with conventional SBR latex systems, the presence of carboxyl groups in the polymer structure can influence the interaction of the latex with other formulation components.
In carpet backing applications, the formulation may be evaluated for:
The actual performance depends on the polymer structure, formulation design, backing materials, and processing conditions.
Carboxylated SBR latex may be used in different carpet backing and textile coating applications according to the specific technical requirements.
RUICO develops SBR latex solutions for carpet backing and textile coating applications.
