High thermal and oxidative stability due to complete hydrogenation of the rosin backbone.
Low color and excellent long-term clarity in transparent formulations.
Good compatibility with a wide range of polymers including acrylics, vinyls, and styrenics.
Low volatility and minimal odor, supporting use in sensitive applications such as adhesives and coatings.
Consistent performance and batch-to-batch reproducibility backed by Eastman’s stringent quality control.
Hot-melt adhesives for packaging, labeling, and assembly.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives in tapes, labels, and medical films.
Printing inks—especially flexographic and gravure inks requiring high gloss and rub resistance.
Coating resins for wood, paper, and metal where clarity and durability are critical.
Plastic modifiers for enhancing tack, adhesion, and melt flow in thermoplastic elastomer systems.
