Commercial carpets used in offices, hotels, retail spaces, and public buildings may require a backing system with a balance of adhesion, flexibility, dimensional stability, and durability.
SBR latex can be incorporated into carpet backing formulations for different commercial carpet constructions, including tufted carpet and carpet tile.
The selection of a suitable SBR latex may depend on several factors:
For carpet tile production, the backing system may require attention to dimensional consistency, layer adhesion, edge stability, and resistance to deformation.
For broadloom carpet, the formulation may focus on yarn retention, backing adhesion, flexibility, and structural stability.
A suitable carpet backing adhesive should be evaluated according to the complete formulation and production process rather than a single performance parameter.
RUICO supplies SBR latex for carpet backing applications, with product selection based on specific carpet structures and processing requirements.
