  • Synthetic Latex Polymers versus Natural Rubber Latex

    Synthetic Latex Polymers versus Natural Rubber Latex

    Often, when manufacturers are sourcing and procuring raw materials, they like to investigate the differences between natural and synthetic alternatives. With some types of raw materials, sourcing natural products is almost always a better option. While there are certainly some good applications fo... read more

    Film Formation of Latex Binders knowladge

    Understanding how a latex binder forms a film is critical to understanding how many modern products are made. That’s because so many products we use every day — coatings, adhesives, and composites — are made when wet latex is transformed into a final film material. Film formation is highly modifiabl... read more

    Latex Binders

    A latex is a dispersion of polymeric particles or droplets in liquid, which sounds simple enough. But the chemistry, mechanics and processes used to create synthetic latex (also referred to as an emulsion polymer) are a bit more complicated. Read on for a comprehensive overview of the science of la... read more

  • Glass Transition Temperature

    Glass Transition Temperature

    Most people are familiar with the concept of melting point — the temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid state. But not all materials have a defined melting point. An amorphous polymer has a glass transition temperature, which is not a single temperature at all but a range of temperature... read more

    Polymer Architecture Latex Binders

    It’s convenient to think of polymers as long chains, and, sometimes, that’s accurate. But polymers have a number of complex interactions — between monomers and between polymer chains — that result in recognizable architectures. These architectures can have tremendous impact on the properties of a p... read more
