Textile and nonwoven fabric producers constantly explore binders that can deliver strength, flexibility, and long-term durability. One particularly effective binder is Styrene Butadiene Copolymer Latex, especially when engineered from Carboxylated Styrene Butadiene Copolymer. At Zhejiang Tianchen Latex Industry Co., Ltd., we leverage this chemistry to support a wide array of textile applications.

In nonwoven fabrics — such as those used in filtration, hygiene products, or industrial wipes — the latex provides a binding network that holds fibers together while preserving softness and flexibility. The carboxyl groups in the copolymer enhance binding affinity with various fiber types, whether synthetic or natural, improving the mechanical integrity of the nonwoven structure.

For carpet backing, Styrene Butadiene Copolymer Latex is widely used because it offers both adhesion to the fibers and elastic recovery. The butadiene component ensures that the carpet backing stays resilient under compression and walking traffic, while the styrene content gives dimensional stability. This ensures the carpet retains its shape and performance over time.

In coated textiles or engineered fabrics, the Carboxylated Styrene Butadiene Copolymer provides enhanced film formation and bonding. The carboxyl functionality helps the latex bond more effectively not only to fibers but also to fillers or functional additives, improving the durability of coated fabrics under repeated stress or environmental exposure.

Another advantage is water resistance. Because of the polar carboxyl groups, coatings or adhesives made from this latex show improved performance in moist or humid environments, making them suitable for outdoor or industrial textile applications.

Environmentally, using water-based Styrene Butadiene Copolymer Latex for nonwovens or textiles supports more sustainable production. It minimizes the use of organic solvents and reduces emissions, aligning with broader industry trends toward greener manufacturing.

At Zhejiang Tianchen Latex Industry Co., Ltd., we offer tailored latex grades designed specifically for the textile and nonwoven sectors, optimizing particle size, viscosity, and crosslinking to match the demands of different fabric types and processing methods. By harnessing the unique chemistry of Carboxylated Styrene Butadiene Copolymer, we help our customers produce fabric products that deliver strength, flexibility, and long-term reliability.
