Resigum: Rosin Esters
For adhesives, tapes, cosmetics, sealants and labels

The "Resigum" line of ester gums are obtained through the esterification of the acids from natural and hydrogenated rosins with polyalcohols, resulting in a high resistance to oxidation, excellent color and solubility with organic solvents and in different rubber polymers. Because of their low acidity, resigums are great for coating applications, especially varnishes. They are highly recommended for their thermoplastic characteristics and good tackification in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives. They are also used in depilation waxes.
