Application

Styrene Butadiene Latex serves as a versatile component with applications across various industries. It can be a solid or viscous liquid, depending on its polymerization level, and is extensively used in creating hot melt adhesives, sealants, asphalt, and oil gels. Its role as a polymer modifier enhances the properties of thermosets and rubber compounds, while also being integral in the production of automotive parts, sporting goods, footwear, and film through molding or extrusion processes. Notably, Styrene Butadiene Latex is the most widely used synthetic rubber, outpacing the consumption of its competitors like polybutadiene and other elastomers. The manufacturing process involves copolymerizing butadiene with styrene in an emulsion, with water and a soap or detergent, requiring a peroxide catalyst and chain-modifying agents such as dodecyl mercaptan.
