What Is Latex Adhesive?
Latex adhesive is an adhesive primarily derived from natural rubber latex.
Comprising natural rubber latex and additives, latex adhesive forms a cohesive adhesive film when mixed, allowing latex particles to bind together. Upon application to the bonding surface, the adhesive film solidifies as moisture evaporates, ensuring a robust bond.
Latex adhesive finds diverse applications in bonding paper, fabric, wood, waterproofing, and coating. The bonding process involves surface preparation, application of latex adhesive, and curing. Notable characteristics of latex adhesive include elasticity, flexibility, and conformity to the bonding surface, enabling it to withstand bending and vibration, and offering substantial adhesive strength. Furthermore, it exhibits water resistance, enhancing its versatility and usability in various applications.
