Dow HPL 502 Carboxylated Terpolymer Latex

Applications: HPL*502 Latex is part of Dow’s HPL* Latex family of the high-performance ignition resistant latexes. HPL* latexes offer properties not available in standard styrene-butadiene latexes. HPL* latex products have chlorine content reacted into the backbone of the polymer that provides a “built in” level of ignition resistance. This inherent ignition resistance enables the formulator to displace some or all of the alumina trihydrate (ATH) with less costly calcium carbonate filler which may result in substantial compound cost savings. The presence of chlorine in the polymer backbone also allows the use of an antimony synergist without the addition of expensive additives. HPL* latexes are used in the precoat compound for both commercial and residential carpet backing applications. HPL* latexes are also used in unitary and tile backing applications.Benefits: High SolidsIgnition ResistantBlister ResistantMedium HandInformation provided by Styron
