Amber, woody
Key properties
Hercolyn DW is sourced from wood rosin, which is extracted from pinewood and solvent refined exclusively by Pinova Inc. in Brunswick, Georgia, USA, and then further stabilized by hydrogenation. The rosin refining and a special steam purification treatment assures consistent mild odor.
Hercolyn DW resin is used extensively in fragrance compounds, where it functions as a fixative, carrier, and compatibilizer, and in the formulation of chewing gum base.
It is also used as a resinous plasticizer or tackifier in finished products such as lacquers, inks, adhesives, floor tiles, artificial leather, and antifouling
paints.
