- Latex Mastic Adhesives consists of a group of high solids lattices with a proven track record of over 40 years of success in adhesives. The high molecular weight of the Latex LTX 5A provides adhesives with excellent cohesive strength. This coupled with early leg development makes it an excellent choice for flooring adhesives and an added plus for the installer.
- SBR Latex for Asphalt Modification High solids SBR latex products have been used as modifiers in asphalt materials for more than 30 years and have been found to provide several improvements in the asphalt roads. These improvements include resistance to high temperature permanent deformation, resistance to cold temperature cracking, and an improvement in short and long term aging. High and low molecular weight SBR latices are available to provide the required balance between compatibility and reinforcement for a given asphalt material.
- Latex Foam Products SBR High Solids Latices are an ideal choice for your latex foam application. Latex LTX 5A is the work horse rubber latex and the product of choice if you seek high resiliency in your gel and non-gel foam applications.
