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.
SBR latex is one component of the complete backing system.
Other factors can include:
Therefore, changing the SBR latex may require adjustments to the formulation.
Technical teams can compare SBR grades through laboratory and production trials.
Evaluation may include:
The test method should be selected according to the specific carpet construction and customer requirements.
RUICO supplies SBR latex for carpet backing applications and supports customers with product samples and technical evaluation.
