ACRALEN BS is a binder for non-woven textiles. ACRALEN BS is an aqueous emulsion of a self-crosslinking styrene-butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer.

ALCOTEX WD100 is a suspending agent for vinyl chloride polymerisation. ALCOTEX WD100 is an aqueous solution of a 43% hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol. It has been specifically developed by Synthomer Ltd as a secondary suspending agent for vinyl chloride polymerisation. Infinitely dilutable in water, and with an extremely low methanol content, ALCOTEX WD100 offers increased PVC resin porosity and reduced levels of gels or ‘fish eyes’ when compared to traditional products.In optimised recipes, improvements can be obtained in the porosity/bulk density relationship. Better porosity facilitates both monomer removal and plasticiser uptake. These criteria are further enhanced when ALCOTEX WD100 is used with the ALCOTEX range of primary suspending agents. ALCOTEX WD100 is also compatible with other conventional primary suspending agents. NMR measurements have shown that ALCOTEX WD100 has a random distribution of acetate groups. The data below represents typical values obtained with different batches of ALCOTEX WD100.

LIPATON SB 3020 is a binder for metal primers. LIPATON SB 3020 is a styrene butadiene latex.

ROSKYDAL K 65 is a binder for highly filled, coarse and fine knifing fillers for use on metal, wood and mineral substrates. Fillers based on ROSKYDAL K 65 cure fully when applied in both thin and thick coats. They can be made harder by the addition of, for example, ROSKYDAL K 14 M or ROSKYDAL K 36. Formulation Combinations of talc, dolomite/calcite and baryteswith lowiron content have proved suitable as extenders, with talc as the main component because it improves the adhesion to the substrate.
