Styrene Butadiene Latex Resin
Styrene Butadiene Latex Resin
(Styrene Butadiene Latex)
Styrene butadiene latexes usually have a resin content of about 50%. The styrene/butadiene ratio varies from 54:46 to 80:20. Most are carboxylated by the use of such acids as maleic [HOOCCHCHCOO], fumaric [HOOCCHCHCOOH], acrylic [CH2CHCOOH], or methacrylic [CH2C(CH3)COOH]. Two types of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) [(COCH)2O] are available: SMA copolymers, with and without rubber impact modifier (e.g., DYLARKÂ) and SMA terpolymer alloys (e.g., CADONÂ). K-Resin is a solid styrenebutadiene copolymer resin. Acrylic monomers are also used in conjunction with styrene (or styrene plus other monomers) to produce specialty resins. For example, there are transparent terpolymers of methyl methacrylate, butadiene, and styrene (MBS), and others of acrylonitrile, an acrylic monomer, and styrene (AAS). Ion-exchange resins or divinylbenzene-modified polystyrene are another variation. SB latexes are used in carpet backing and paper coatings. The other styrenics are used in paints, coatings, and floor polishes, plus many other uses.
