Rosin Ester Tackifiers -- The natural choice in tackifiers for adhesive products.
Rosin esters offer increased compatibility with adhesive polymers and better adhesive performance in a wide range of applications and substrates. Polarity, aromatic structure, low and narrow molecular weight distribution are just a few of the attributes that make our esters compatible with a broad range of polymers. Performance advantages include excellent wet-out, improved flowability, and better overall tack and adhesion versus hydrocarbon resins.
Terpene-Based Tackifiers – The natural alternative to hydrocarbon tackifiers
Terpene resins have high polarity and softening points - excellent qualities for adhesion and heat stability. Plus, these resins offer good initial tack, longer open times, and improved adhesion to difficult-to-bond substrates. Terpene phenolics are versatile and work well with many different polymer systems.
Dispersion Tackifiers – Solvent free and environmentally friendly.
Tackifier dispersions are designed for use in many different water-based adhesive and sealant applications from tapes and labels to contact adhesives. The variety of dispersion choices provides excellent formulating latitude and workability in many different polymer types. Dermulsene tackifier dispersions enhance the adhesion capability of formulations with substrates that have low adhesion value.
