Hydrogenated resin
Key properties
In finished products, it contributes improved resistance to oxidation, greater heat stability, better retention of color, and greater retention of tack imparting properties than ordinary rosin esters.
- Tackifier in pressure-sensitive adhesives needing heat, light, oxidation, and moisture resistance
- Easily incorporated into solvent-based and hot melt adhesives
- Tackifier for natural rubber, neoprene and SBR latex-based adhesives
- Tacky
- Persistent adhesive
- Resistant to oxidation
- Resists aging
- High bonding strength
- Dispersible in aqueous media

Pastillated or flaked resins may fuse, block, or lump during hot weather months, if stored near sources of heat, if double or triple stacked, or if stored for prolonged periods of time.
These forms of resin are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or could have an adverse effect on solubility in organic solvents. Care should be given to minimize opportunities for product oxidation throughout processing.
Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that proper storage conditions and strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first.
