MOSCOW (MRC) -- Styron, the global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and rubber, has presented new flooring solutions to help carpet backing and artificial grass manufacturers meet today’s market challenges, reported the company on its site.
"Making flooring more durable and more sustainable are the challenges of today's carpet backing and artificial grass manufacturers," said James Kennedy, Styron’s Global Flooring Industry Manager. "Styron’s Performance Latex solutions help our customers meet those challenges and differentiate their products in the marketplace."
The new Styron solutions include FOUNDATIONS Styrene Acrylate latex, now produced in Terneuzen (The Netherlands), which expands the company's product portfolio; ENVERSA, an innovative backing for carpet which addresses the environmental concerns with the current competitive backing, and TRINSEO, a new range of lower cost modified SB Latexes.
As MRC wrote previously, in mid-summer, 2013, Styron offered a complete portfolio of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene products under the MAGNUM ABS Resins brand name. The Styron ABS business has traditionally supported the automotive industry where customer demand values the characteristics of the material - such as a premium finish on the trims in the interior of a vehicle.
Most recently Styron’s global ABS business has expanded to include non-automotive sectors as consumers seek a premium appearance in items such as equipment housings for medical devices, cabinetry for consumer electronics and home furnishings, opaque sheet and furniture.

Styron"s technology solutions are used by customers in industries such as home appliances, automotive, building & construction, carpet, commercial transportation, consumer electronics, consumer goods, electrical & lighting, medical, packaging, paper & paperboard, rubber goods and tires.
