Vinyl Acrylic Latex
EVEREST™ Technology is based on a unique modified acrylic technology, that was developed to address the growing interest in carpet backing technologies with sustainable attributes. This high solids emulsion offers properties that are not available in styrene butadiene latexes used in the carpet industry today. Whether the application is for commercial broadloom or carpet tile, compounds made with EVEREST are stable to a wide range of Post Industrial and Post Consumer recycled fillers, which allow carpet manufacturers to maximize the amount of recycled content in their products.
For example, in a typical formulation using recycled filler, 30-35% of the weight of the carpet would be based on recycled content. Carpet backed with EVEREST yields physical properties similar to current technologies even in the presence of plasticizers, making this product ideal for many carpet tile pre-coats.
Whether you are looking to improve the environmental footprint of your commercial broadloom product or your modular tile system, EVEREST meets your needs.
