Natural Rosins for Coatings and Inks

AS 15T by AS Resinas is a tropical rosin gum. It offers improved strength and smoothness. It is used in paint and varnishes applications. AS 15T is REACH compliant and vegan certified.

AS 90H by AS Resinas is a hybrid rosin gum. It provides strength and smoothness. AS 90H is used in paint and varnishes applications. It is REACH compliant and vegan certified.

Dark wood rosin. It is a medium softening point, dark, thermoplastic, acidic resin. It is obtained during the separation and refining of various natural resins and terpenes extracted from aged pinewood. Belro dark wood rosin is composed of rosin-type resin acids, oxidized and otherwise modified forms of these materials, and a minor amount of the neutral and colored constituents associated with dark wood rosins. Offers high acid value, good oxidation resistance, good thermoplasticity, wide compatability and chemical reactivity.

Wood rosin. It is a thermoplastic acidic resin composed of rosin acids, oxidized and modified forms of these resins, and neutral and colored constituents associated with dark rosin. Shows water resistance and wide solubility and chemical reactivity range. Used in gum ester for protective coatings, inks and ink vehicles.

Methyl ester of wood rosin. Acts as gloss agent. It is an amber-colored, near neutral, tacky, viscous liquid. Abalyn resin retains the reactive double bonds of rosin, which may be an advantage or drawback depending upon application conditions. For a methyl ester that has been stabilized against oxidation at these reactive sites by hydrogenation, Hercolyn® D resin is recommended. Possesses clarity, high refractive index, high boiling point, low vapor pressure, good thermal stability, excellent surface wetting properties, viscosity, and tack. These physical properties, plus its wide compatibility, make it useful in a variety of applications, including lacquers, inks, paper coatings and varnishes.

An alcohol soluble fumaric-modified rosin ester. Exhibits high acid value, high softening point with a broad range of solubility and compati­bility. Used in flexographic printing inks.

Non-crystallization rosin. Is stabilized, low odor and light color rosin which is produced with special process with its improved oxidation, crystallization and heat resistance. Used for alcohol soluble printing inks and paints.

High-hydrogenated rosin. Used in paint and inks.
