What is Styrene Butadiene Latex Market?
Styrene-butadiene latex is a type of polymer that is produced by the polymer emulsion process of styrene-butadiene. It is commonly used in paper processing as a coating for various types of paper products like flyers, catalogs, paperboards, and magazines in order to achieve high gloss and resistance to water or oil. The high growth of SB latex in the construction industry as an admixture for mortar and concrete due to improving tensile strength and water resistance properties in cement mortar will accelerate the growth of SB latex in the nearer future. SB latex can also be used for back coating on textiles, especially in tufted carpets to improve its stability and reduce fraying, which will create noteworthy opportunities in North American countries.
The market study is being classified by Type (Solution Styrene Butadiene Latex and Emulsion Styrene Butadiene Latex), by Application (Paint & Coating, Textiles, Glass Fiber Processing, Mortar and Concrete and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
Mallard Creek Polymers (United States), Asahi Kasei (Japan), Dow (United States), BASF (Germany), Synthomer (United Kingdom), LG Chem (South Korea), AkzoNobel (Netherlands), Ashland (United States), Wacker Chemie (Germany), Trinseo (United States), Euclid Chemical (United States), U.S. Adhesives, Inc. (United States) and Ultrapave (United States) are some of the key players profiled in the study.
