Viscosity control is an important part of many carpet backing formulations. SBR latex is usually combined with other formulation components, including fillers and thickeners, to achieve the required coating viscosity. Why Is Viscosity Important? The formulation viscosity can affect: Mixing Pumping ... read more
Carpet tiles have different construction and backing requirements compared with some other carpet products. SBR latex can be used as part of backing formulations where bonding, flexibility and processing characteristics need to be considered. Factors to Consider For carpet tile backing, technical te... read more
Adhesion is one of the key properties evaluated in carpet backing formulations. The required adhesion level can depend on the carpet construction, backing material, filler system and production conditions. What Can Affect Adhesion? SBR latex is one component of the complete backing system. Other fac... read more
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
