Carpet back coating is an important part of many carpet manufacturing processes. The coating system can influence the adhesion between the carpet structure and the backing materials.
SBR latex is commonly evaluated for carpet back coating formulations because of its combination of polymer flexibility, adhesion characteristics, and compatibility with different formulation components.
A carpet back coating formulation may contain:
The formulation design should be adapted to the carpet structure and coating equipment.
Factors such as coating viscosity, coating weight, drying temperature, and line speed may influence the production process.
RUICO provides SBR latex for carpet back coating applications, including tufted carpet, carpet tile, and other textile flooring products.
