Cosmetics – Depilatory Wax (Sir Wax)
Gum rosin, the main ingredient of sugar wax, provides adhesion and flexibility together with glycerol ester resins.
Paint – Road Marking Paint
As binders in road marking paints, rosin esters provide adhesion, oxidation resistance and fast drying.
Rubber and Tires
Gum rosins improve the homogeneity, flexibility and temperature stability of rubber compounds.
Fruit Coating
Fumaric and maleic resins form a protective film on fruit, extending shelf life.
Printing Inks
Binder resins contribute to the hardness, gloss, tack and flexibility of the ink.
Shoe-Floor Polishes
Maleic and fumaric resins give polishes gloss, abrasion resistance and water-stain resistance.
Chewing Gum Base
Food-grade rosin esters act as a masticatory and binding agent in chewing gum base.
Fragrances and Essences
Pine oil and aromatic terpenes are used as fixatives and base notes in fragrance formulations.
Bookbinding
In bookbinding adhesives, gum rosin and glycerol esters provide durability and holding strength.
Disinfectants
With its antimicrobial properties, pine oil is an active ingredient in cleaner and disinfectant formulations.
Varnishes and Mastics
Modified rosin esters provide hardness, gloss and chemical resistance in varnishes and mastics.
Agriculture Industry
In agrochemicals, resins provide binding, adhesion-promoting and protective effects.
Textile Industry
Resins are used in the production of TPU- and EVA-based hot-melt adhesive films.
