NYCHEM® 1570X75 carboxylated, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene Latex utilizes a synthetic anionic surfactant enabling good chemical and mechanical stability. This provides the best formulating capabilities, machine runnability, and good wetting properties with reduced pH sensitivity for binder and coating applications. A feature of this latex is smaller particle size for improved web penetration and faster drying great for adhesive applications. As a paper saturant, it can be used in abrasion, automotive masking tape, friction, and printing blanket backer paper products. Also, it sports a soft-touch feel and low Tg. The styrenated nitrile provides a good balance of polar and nonpolar solvent resistance. Also, it has good flexibility and impact resistance with improved adhesion to metal substrates. The carboxylated functionality allows the polymer to be crosslinked internally or with the substrate using metal complexes, amino and phenol formaldehyde resins, and epoxies further improving performance. Additional toughness, abrasion, and chemical resistance can be further enhanced though vulcanization using a sulfur donor.
