Summary:Aug 29,2026

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 factors can include:

  • SBR latex characteristics
  • Polymer content
  • Filler type and loading
  • Thickener
  • pH
  • Coating weight
  • Drying conditions
  • Substrate characteristics

Therefore, changing the SBR latex may require adjustments to the formulation.

How Can Adhesion Be Evaluated?

Technical teams can compare SBR grades through laboratory and production trials.

Evaluation may include:

  • Initial bonding
  • Dry adhesion
  • Wet adhesion where applicable
  • Peel behavior
  • Flexibility
  • Carpet appearance
  • Dimensional behavior

The test method should be selected according to the specific carpet construction and customer requirements.
