NATLEX™/SYNLEX™ – ADHESIVES

Natural & Synthetic Latex-Based Bonding Coatings
Open Bandage
Overview

One Adhesive. Endless Possibilities.

Latex adhesives are formulated from natural rubber latex (NATLEX) or synthetic polymer emulsions (SYNLEX) such as acrylics, SBR, nitrile, or PVAc. These adhesives are known for their flexibility, strong initial tack, and fast setting times—making them ideal for efficient bonding in assembly, lamination, and production processes. Their water-based nature also contributes to lower VOC emissions and easier cleanup, supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing.

Offering excellent compatibility with substrates like wood, fabric, foam, leather, paper, and metal, latex adhesives are a versatile choice across multiple industries. Common applications include flooring, automotive interiors, furniture assembly, packaging, and general industrial use. Their balance of performance, speed, and sustainability makes them a reliable solution for both light and demanding bonding needs.
