GUM ROSIN ESTERS
Colophon Resin esters (Gum Rosin Esters) are Glycerol esters (Resin esters =Glycerol ester resins), Products obtained as a result of the heterogeneous reaction of Gum Rosin with alcohols in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst .Gum is obtained by esterification of rosin with glycerol at high temperature.Resin esters (Glycerol ester resins) have a higher softening point, lower acid value and higher thermal resistance than natural resins (Gum Rosin).
Glycerol Ester resins are resin compounds that are used in various applications in various industries and have different properties. These ester resins are obtained by esterification of glycerol with one or more resin acids and are used for various purposes in industrial areas. Here are some of the uses of glycerol ester resins:
Glycerol Ester Resins have a very wide range of uses. They vary according to the levels of resin acids contained in the glycerol ester resin composition.The most important two of these Glycerol Ester Resins are; Pentaerythritol Esters and Triethylene Glycol Esters.
Pentaerythritol Esters are obtained as a result of the esterification reaction of Gum Rosine with Pentaerythritol.
Pentaerythritol Ester Resins can be used as a substitute for aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. It is also suitable for Use in adhesives, hotmelt adhesives and PSA adhesives.
Pentaerythritol esters have low initial color and excellent adhesion. Pentaerythritol Ester Resins(Penta Ester Resins) tend to have a higher softening point than glycerol resin esters. They have good resistance to yellowing and heat. Compatible with natural and synthetic rubbers, Penta ester resins are well soluble in Esters, ethers, ketones, aromatic and aliphatic solvents.
Triethylene Glycol Esters are obtained as a result of the esterification reaction of Gum Rosine with Triethylene Glycol.Triethylene Glycol esters are a kind of liquid viscous glycerol ester resin.Triethylene glycol esters are glycerol ester resins with good heat resistance, low initial color and very good adhesion strength.
Glycerol Ester resins are used for various purposes in various industries and industrial areas.
Glycerol Ester Resins are Resin Esters used in many fields such as Industrial adhesive production, Cosmetics-Waxing, Paint and Coating, Food and Beverage Industry, Pharmaceutical (Pharmaceutical) Industry, Paper-Label Industry.
