Product Description
Rosin is a natural solid resin obtained from pine trees, widely used in adhesives, coatings, inks, rubber compounding, paper sizing, soldering fluxes, emulsions, personal care, polishes, and industrial formulations. It functions as a tackifier, film-former, binder, viscosity modifier, emulsifier stabilizer, and performance enhancer. Rosin is known for its excellent adhesion, gloss enhancement, and compatibility with waxes, oils, elastomers, and resins.
Suitable for DIY formulators, adhesive manufacturers, polish makers, coatings producers, rubber processors, and industrial users.
