Synthomer, developer of polymers used in a wide range of industries, has released new polymer for the construction sector, LITEX SX 591.

LITEX SX 591 is a coater ready binder for glass fibre fabrics finishing. It complements Synthomer's broad range of water-based XSBR latex binders for the manufacture of glass mesh reinforcement products used for building insulations systems known as EIFS (exterior insulation and finishing system) or ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems). It has excellent adhesion to mineral substrates and outstanding wetting performance. After drying and curing the polymer forms a tack-free, strong and reliable film with excellent water and alkali resistance, according to a press release.

Application testing has proven excellent runability, especially for the commonly used off-line coating which supports cost effective production cycles. With the option to blend the new grade with softer or harder latex grades, Synthomer offers a comprehensive and very flexible system to ensure cost efficient and reliable product development and manufacturing to the fibre bonding industry.
