Proper storage is an important part of maintaining the quality of water-based SBR latex before it enters the carpet backing production process. For manufacturers importing SBR latex over longer distances, storage planning should be considered together with purchasing and logistics. Storage Factors t... read more
Coating weight is an important parameter in carpet backing production. The required coating weight depends on the carpet construction, backing system, bonding requirements and production process. SBR latex characteristics can influence the formulation used to achieve the target coating weight. What ... read more
Drying is an important part of carpet backing production. Since SBR latex contains water, the latex solids level and formulation water can influence the drying process. For carpet manufacturers, reviewing the relationship between latex solids and drying conditions can be part of production optimizat... read more
When purchasing SBR latex for carpet backing, procurement teams can evaluate suppliers using a combination of commercial, technical and supply-chain factors.
