Hydrogenated resin

Staybelite Ester 3

Staybelite Ester 3 rosin, the triethylene glycol ester of partially hydrogenated wood rosin, is a pale, viscous, balsamic liquid with the resistance to oxidation and discoloration characteristic of the Staybelite series of rosin esters.

Key properties

Staybelite Ester 3 rosin, the triethylene glycol ester of partially hydrogenated wood rosin, is a pale, viscous, balsamic liquid with the resistance to oxidation and discoloration characteristic of the Staybelite series of rosin esters.

It has found wide acceptance in hot melt, pressure sensitive, and ethylcellulose laminating adhesives.

In general, it finds use where there is a need for a pale, nonoxidizing, color-stable, highly tacky liquid resin.

Applications

  • Plasticizing tackifier in hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives requiring high degrees of tack without significantly decreasing bond strength
  • Adds tack to adhesives formulated with high softening point resins
  • Component in depilatory waxes and other personal care products
  • Laminating adhesives for industrial textiles
  • Plasticizer for a wide range of film-formers
