Polyterpene resin
Key properties
This resin, produced from high-purity alpha-pinene isolated from turpentine, is characterized by its light color and color stability; high gloss and gloss promotability; acid, alkali, and water resistance; and wide compatibility and solubility.
It is a superior tackifier for SBR and thermoplastic block copolymer elastomers in adhesive systems.
- Tackifier resin in pressure-sensitive and hot melt adhesives
