Carpet underlay and backing materials can contribute to the structure, comfort, and handling properties of a finished flooring product.
SBR latex may be used in selected underlay and backing formulations to support the bonding of fibers, nonwoven materials, and other substrates.
The formulation requirements may vary according to the structure of the product.
Important considerations can include:
The SBR latex should be evaluated together with the complete formulation and production process.
Filler type, latex solids content, coating weight, and drying conditions can influence the behavior of the coating system.
RUICO supplies SBR latex for carpet backing, underlay, and textile coating applications.
