What is Styrene-Butadiene Latex?

Styrene-butadiene (SB) latex is a common type of emulsion polymer used in a number of industrial and commercial applications. Because it’s composed of two different types of monomers, styrene and butadiene, SB latex is classified as a copolymer. Styrene is derived from reacting benzene and ethylene, and butadiene is a byproduct of ethylene production.
