Polymerized Rosin

Introduction

Polymerized rosin is a modified product of gum rosin, whichcontains abietic type acids.
It is a pale, acidic, thermoplastic, high softening point resin.

Description

It has high resistance to oxidation and does not crystallize from solutions or from solid compositions. It is compatible with many natural and synthetic film formers and rubbers. Being an acidic resin, it reacts readily with polyalcohols or hydrated lime to yield high melting derivatives.

Properties

It has a series of excellent properties such as higher softening point, non-crystallization, good oxidation-resistance, higher viscosity in organic solvent.
It’s key properties are as follows:

  • Alcohol-soluble
  • Non-crystalline
  • Resistant to oxidation
  • Thermoplastic rosin acid
  • Very high softening point

Application/Usage

It is mainly used as an industrial raw material for manufacturing inks, adhesives, paints, varnishes, synthetic resins etc.It also finds application in the electronic fields such as manufacture of solder flux, soldering wires etc.
It can also find use in – Assembly, bookbinding, caulks and sealants, contact adhesives, footwear and leather, hot-melt adhesives, laminating, PSAs, solventborne adhesives, etc.
