How to Choose the Right Rosin Ester for Hot-Melt Adhesive Production?
· GCC PROTEK
Rosin ester selection criteria for hot-melt formulations based on softening point, color and polymer compatibility.
Natural resins and their derivatives directly determine product performance in many industries, from adhesives to depilatory wax and from paints to inks. To choose the right resin type, softening point, acid value, color (Gardner) and polymer compatibility should be evaluated together.
What to consider when selecting a product
The values in each product type's technical data sheet (TDS) affect final product quality. GCC PROTEK shares up-to-date TDS documents for RB Group products upon request.
