Adhesives and binders

SBR Latex Binder

Select the adhesive, binder or seaming tape together with the materials being joined and the approved system specification.

SBR Latex Binder is a liquid polymer component used to adjust adhesion, flexibility and workability in rubber-granule compounds or cementitious applications permitted by its current technical data. It must not be assumed to be interchangeable with moisture-curing polyurethane binders used for EPDM systems. Solids content, viscosity, mixing ratio, drying conditions, water exposure and substrate compatibility must be verified for the intended application, followed by a small representative site trial.

Selection and technical review

State the turf backing, tape, granule or floor-covering type, substrate, environment and application area. Verify components, mixing ratio, consumption, pot life and curing conditions against the current TDS, and safety and storage against the SDS. Different chemical families are not automatically interchangeable.

Application and handover preparation

Check substrate preparation, compatibility, weather and application sequence against the technical instructions. Link trial application and batch records to project control; do not open a joint or surface to use before the specified curing and acceptance conditions are met. Seaming tape is not an adhesive on its own.
