The paper industry uses many different types of synthetic emulsion polymers: Carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex, styrene acrylic copolymers, acrylic polymer emulsions, and vinyl acetate containing emulsions are all used at various stages of papermaking and paper coating. These chemistry options are also used widely in the Packaging sector. For paper coating, styrene-butadiene latex is the best technology, while paperboard coatings use a diverse group of products. MCP has limited advertised products, as each paper or board mill uses a customized solution.
Rovene 4100 is a styrene-butadiene emulsion polymer recommended for use for boxboard coating, in some publication grade papers and in the adhesive industry.
Rovene 7008 forms a tough but still flexible film with the best adhesive properties for broad applications. The Rovene 7008 exhibits excellent mechanical stability, and shows good wet tack and fast setting speed, so it can be ideally applied by a variety of techniques, including roller blade, spray gun, or extrusion. It shows good resistance against aging, light or alkali.
