Synthomer CV 3534 can be used as a vulcanization curative, and as part of a formulated vulcanization system with other co-curatives and additives, for the curing of NBR latex systems.
The required quantity of Synthomer CV 3534 in the curative blend will depend on the application and should be first determined on a laboratory scale by the user prior to any scale up. A recommended ratio is 18 parts wet per 100 parts dry polymer for a tough polymer film, and 9 parts wet per 100 parts dry polymer for a flexible polymer film.

LITEX™ N XA 1739 is used as a binder for technical papers (e.g. gaskets) and was tailored for a beater addition process. The main advantages of LITEX™ N XA 1739 are an excellent sealability, high solvent resistance and superior flexibility. Optimum properties are obtained with a zinc oxide cure system, details are available from Synthomer. Compatibility with other chemicals of LITEX™ N XA 1739 is good especially with acrylics, polyurethane and many resins. Nevertheless we recommend testing stability in each case.

PLEXTOL BV 595 is an aqueous emulsion of a self-crosslinking acrylic polymer, Solids content 50%.

PLIOTEC SC245 is a self-crosslinking all-acrylic latex that provides excellent blush resistance and adhesion to various substrates, including concrete and tile. It forms a durable film with good resistance to hot tire pick-up, making it ideal for clear concrete sealers and floor coatings. PLIOTEC SC245 can be formulated into coatings with less than 50 g/L VOC, offering excellent early water resistance, UV stability, and exterior durability, and it is free from APE and formaldehyde.
