ROSIN DERIVATIVES:

* PENTAERYTHRITOL ESTER #1020
Pentaerythritol Ester with multiple formed (flake and lump), specially stabilized and treated more than natural rosin to give color stability at elevated temperatures and will exhibit adhesion properties.

  • Excellent solubility in Xylene, Toluene, other aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent. Also good solubility in esters and ketones.
  • Compatibility in EVA, SIS, natural and chlorinated rubber.
