Clean, safe and widely serviceable

Our range of AERAFINTM polymers combine excellent peel strength, processability, low odour and colour.  These polymers enable you to formulate hot melt adhesives with a broad operating window, and compatibility with advanced HMA applicators. They can also spray at lower temperatures on a broad range of substrates.

AERAFINTM polyolefin polymers are compatible with many tackifying resins, which opens up many formulation options. Higher polymer loading, lower tackifier loading, excellent thermal stability and compatibility with hydrocarbon resins make them even more versatile.

In addition, our new REGALITETM UltraPure hydrocarbon tackifying resins deliver on demand for clean and safe chemicals, being low odour, low VOC and low in trace chemicals without sacrificing performance.  These are made from mixed aromatic and aliphatic resins that are hydrogenated to produce a wide range of materials with low colour, high stability and broad compatibility.

Abalyn™ D-E Methyl Ester of RosinRosin Resin

Abalyn™ D-E methyl ester of gum rosin, is an amber-colored, near-neutral, tacky, viscous liquid. It is resinous in nature with clarity and high refractive index, low vapor pressure, high boiling point, and good thermal stability. It has excellent surface-wetting properties. These physical properties, plus its wide compatibility, make it useful in a variety of applications, including lacquers, inks, paper coatings, varnishes, adhesives, sealing compounds, plastics and wood preservatives. To assure minimum odor of products in which it is used, it is given a special steam sparging treatment.

Abitol™ E Hydroabietyl AlcoholRosin Resin

Abitol™ E resin hydroabietyl alcohol is a colorless, tacky, balsamic resin. Its tackiness and extremely pale color, combined with its solubility in common organic solvents and compatibility with resins, film-formers, and oils, have led to its use as a resinous plasticizer and/or tackifier in plastics, lacquers, inks and adhesives. Chemically, Abitol E resin is a high molecular weight, primary, monohydric alcohol derived from rosin acids that have been hydrogenated to reduce unsaturation. Abitol E resin undergoes the general types of chemical reaction common to most primary alcohols.

  • Alcohol-soluble
  • High refractive index
