Maleated Rosin

Maleated Rosin is a chemically modified rosin created by the reaction of rosin with maleic anhydride. This modification enhances the rosin's properties, including its acidity and reactivity. It typically appears as a yellow to amber solid with good solubility in organic solvents.

Maleated Rosin is produced by reacting natural rosin with maleic anhydride. This modification enhances the resin's reactivity and compatibility with polymers, making it an effective tackifier and adhesion promoter.

Adhesives and Sealants:

Improves tack, adhesion, and overall bonding performance in pressure-sensitive adhesives and sealant formulations.
Rubber Compounds:

Enhances compatibility with fillers and reinforcing agents, contributing to improved elasticity and processing.
Coatings and Inks:

Boosts flow and film formation, resulting in enhanced gloss and durability in coatings and printing inks.
Plastics and Composites: Acts as a compatibilizer in polymer blends and composites, improving interfacial adhesion.
