LIGOS™ Latex binders from Trinseo are low-VOC and EH&S-compliant to support formulators in meeting regulatory requirements. And these latex binders offer high shear performances, especially to support high heat resistance laminate constructions with paper and filmic face materials. Benefit from their self-adhesion properties, allowing permanent or removable performance for a wide range of substrates.

LIGOS™ Latex binders offer outstanding adhesion, consistent quality, and operational efficiency for a broad range of rigid and flexible packaging. Based on SB, SA, and VA chemistries, Trinseo’s solutions address the need for more sustainable packaging without sacrificing performance. LIGOS™ products can be used as the main binder or as a co-binder thanks to good compatibility with other types of chemistries.

LIGOS™ Styrene Acrylic and pure Acrylic latex binders are designed for use with various substrates to ensure excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability, as well as resistance to water, heat, and light aging. This first-rate adhesion, combined with controlled water vapor transmission rate, excellent formulation stability, and long-term sealant durability, makes LIGOS™ products the preferred choice for sealant manufacturers.

Wood glue: With LIGOS™ SB latex binders, formulators can produce formaldehyde-free emulsion polymer isocyanate (EPI) adhesive systems that offer excellent thermal creep and water resistance, outstanding wet and dry adhesion, and formulation stability. Where water resistance is required, LIGOS™ SB latex outperforms competitive vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) copolymers.

Contact Adhesive: LIGOS™ SB latex binders support the production of cost-competitive adhesives for application on foam that require high wet tack or contact adhesion properties after spray or brush application. LIGOS™ SB latex binders cannot be used alone but only in combination with the classical type of latexes designed for contact adhesive applications. .
