Europrene® Latice 5588 BA is an aqueous dispersion of a modified carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer obtained using synthetic anionic emulsifiers. It contains a non staining antioxidant.

Sustainability
Bio raw materials can be used in production processes together with traditional raw materials. In order to attribute sustainability characteristics to the final product, Versalis applies the Mass Balance approach, an acknowledged methodology that ensures that the sustainability characteristics of the alternative raw material, mixed with traditional naphtha, correspond to those of the final product. BA products are provided with a sustainability declaration indicating the amount of Bio Attributed component. They guarantee identical performance, quality and properties, as they do not differ in chemical composition and physical-mechanical performance from standard products.

Key Features
Europrene® Latice 5588 BA is completely ammonia free. It is a functional polymer with soft handle and can be used alone or with most common fillers; the viscosity of compounds can be adjusted to the desired level using a standard thickener. It shows good performances at high filler loading.

Main Applications
Europrene® Latice 5588 BA is used for soft handle primary backings, anchor coatings and secondary backings.
