The Waterborne Technologies Laboratory supports the use of Vanderbilt products used in all types of latex markets including: latex thread for garment applications, water-based adhesives, carpet backing, foam for pillows and mattresses, weather-stripping, carpet underlay, dipped goods such as breather bags and gloves, and finally coatings for textiles and non-wovens.

Waterborne Technologies focuses on the use of Vanderbilt chemicals in waterborne products. The new products created by the laboratory are often produced to meet an industry need; therefore, the new technologies and products that are developed in our laboratory almost always have an immediate application. Additionally, our new products are tested to insure that they meet our customers’ required specifications. New ideas become reality on our laboratory benches.

As an applications laboratory, it is important for Waterborne Technologies to inform our customers about the knowledge gained through bench work and field trials of experimental and existing products. The aim of this laboratory is to keep customers informed through technical data sheets, publications, and presentations. Each year Waterborne Technologies publishes multiple papers and gives presentations on our new product developments. Since Vanderbilt customers are continually developing new products, it is also our job to help them in this endeavor. With ultimate regard for proprietary information, an exchange of ideas between R.T. Vanderbilt Company, Inc. and its customers is a long-standing tradition.
