What Is Gum Rosin (Natural Resin)? Why Is It Indispensable in Industrial Production?
· GCC PROTEK
The structure of natural resin obtained from pine trees and its applications, from adhesives to paints.
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.
