What is carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex?
Carboxylated styrene–butadiene latex exhibits excellent chemical stability; it can be processed using high-speed mixers, making coating application straightforward, and it readily blends with other coatings. It also demonstrates outstanding mechanical stability, can be added at elevated temperatures, and boasts superior thermal stability without undergoing any changes during use. Coating performance is exceptional: it produces a smooth finish with no noticeable mottling, streaks, or splattering, and does not introduce gumming. Production efficiency is high: it allows for high‑speed coating without fouling the back roller or the calendering roll, and offers strong adhesive strength. For coated paper applications, carboxylated styrene–butadiene latex delivers a refined, elegant appearance—characterized by high brightness, enhanced base‑paper gloss, excellent printability, and superior surface smoothness. This product line covers the full range of requirements for paper and cardboard coating applications.
