Adhesives, Rubber & Tyre
Tackifiers, reclaiming agents and terpene feedstocks for adhesive and rubber compounders.
Overview
Rosin and its esters give pressure sensitive adhesives their tack, and remain difficult to replace economically. In rubber and tyre work, dipentene acts as a reclaiming agent, pine tar oil as a softener, and rosin as a processing aid and tackifier. Alpha and beta pinene and delta 3 carene serve compounders producing their own terpene resins in house.
