Rovene 5550 is a self crosslinking carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that as a soft, resilient hand with outstanding strength properties. This binder is specially suited for various textile and coating applications. Rovene 5550 imparts excellent water and solvent resistance, excellent tensile strength and good adhesion to a wide variety of fibers. In contrast to conventional styrene-butadiene emulsions, Rovene 5550 has a much faster cure rate. In addition, it can be easily sprayed, is mechanically stable (at pH 8.5 and greater), and is low foaming. Rovene 5550 is used as a primary binder for nonwoven and textile applications in areas such as bonding wet wipes, polishing pads, filters, and facial scrub pads.

Rovene 6015 is a self crosslinking acrylic polymer providing a medium hand to frothed or saturated substrates. Rovene 6015 is recommended for various nonwoven and paper applications requiring medium hand with resistance to heat and light aging. Rovene 6015 also provides good wet strength and chemical resistance.

Rovene 6017 is recommended for bonding nonwovens where a firm, durable binder is needed such as highloft webs, interlinings, and medical applications. Rovene 6017 provides excellent dry and wet tensile strength as well as good solvent resistance. Nonwoven webs bonded with Rovene 6017 also resist yellowing at standard processing temperatures.

Rovene 6020 is a soft, carboxylated stryene-acrylic copolymer emulsion. The typical films are soft and strong with good water resistance and exhibit good resistance to discoloration. Rovene 6020 has found use in coatings for awnings, boat covers, gloss overprints for fabric, and outdoor furniture upholstery.

Rovene 4021 is a self-crosslinking, carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that has a firm hand with outstanding strength properties. This latex is especially suited for various nonwoven, textile and performance coating applications. Rovene 4021 is an excellent binder where stiffness with toughness and water resistance is required. It also accepts high filler loads of calcium carbonate, clays and alumina trihydrate and still retains excellent tensile strength. Rovene 4021 has the ability to be crosslinked with external crosslinking agents, which will improve the solvent resistance of treated substrates. Rovene 4021 is recommended for applications in textile and needle-punch backcoatings and performance coatings. This hydrophobic emulsion is also recommended as a primary binder for industrial and household floor care and scrub pads as well as for bonding wet wipes, industrial wipes and filters. Rovene 4021 can also be utilized in performance coatings where adhesion to metal surfaces is needed.
