LAITEX N-5120 is a carboxylated butadiene-styrene copolymer dispersion used as a binder in the textile industry.

LAITEX N-5120 is used in particular for the impregnation of needlepunched fabrics and in general for the reinforcement of woven materials.

Applications:

LAITEX N-5120 is used especially for the coating of fibre anchor backings, for the coating and impregnation of fabrics and tissues.

LAITEX N-5120 can also be used for the reinforcement of nonwoven carpets and as a binder for nonwovens.

LAITEX N-5120 can be processed on conventional coating machines, spraying and impregnation systems. For the coating and backing of carpets (pre-backing and double-backing compounds), the dispersion is generally filled with inorganic fillers.

For the reinforcement of non-woven material by impregnation, the dispersion is usually diluted to a solids content of 20-25 %, whereas the reinforcement of non-woven carpets by impregnation on one side is generally used undiluted and, if necessary, slightly thickened.
