FORAL™ 105-E Ester of Hydrogenated Rosin

FORAL™ 105-E Ester of Hydrogenated Rosin by Synthomer is a pale, thermoplastic ester resin derived from pentaerythritol and a highly stabilized rosin. Offers advantages as the tackifier or modifier resin in various adhesives compositions. Exhibit light color, low odor with resistance to oxidation and to discoloration caused by heat and aging.

• It has a substantially higher softening point and is therefore indicated where a harder resin is desired.
• FORAL™ 105-E Ester of Hydrogenated Rosin is also used in UV cured acrylics to improve adhesion to low surface energy substrates when high tack is not needed.
• It shows compatibility with natural-, synthetic- and chlorinated rubber, ethylcellulose, EVA copolymers, low molecular weight polyethylene, SIS and SBS block copolymers, APAO, acrylic resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane compounds and with PVP, polyvinylbutyral, nitrocellulose, drying oils and alkyd resins.
• Recommended for caulks and sealants, labels, tapes, roofing, specialty tapes, assembly, hygiene adhesives, packaging and other adhesive applications.
