Foral AX-E

FORAL™ AX-E fully hydrogenated gum rosin is a thermoplastic, acidic resin produced by hydrogenating rosin to an exceptionally high degree. It is the palest, most highly stabilized rosin commercially available from Synthomer. Compared with STAYBELITE™ resin-E partially hydrogenated rosin, a hydrogenated rosin long established and widely used for its pale color and high oxidation resistance, FORAL AX-E has better initial color and color retention, and even greater resistance to oxidation. It is especially indicated as the tackifier and resin modifier in solvent adhesives and hot-melt applied coatings and adhesives that must excel in these properties. It is also used in UV cured acrylics to improve adhesion to low surface energy substrates. Alcohol-soluble Compatible with UV acrylic adhesives Excellent resistance to oxidation High acid number Improved adhesion to low surface energy substrates Medium softening point Thermoplastic hydrogenated resin Very light color and ideal for Biopolymer modification
