Polyterpene resins

Our polyterpene resins are based on alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and d-limonene, all of which are derived from renewable and sustainable resources. Their unique properties make them effective polymer modifiers for a variety of end-use applications, including many high performance pressure sensitive tapes and labels, industrial adhesives, automotive adhesives, high temperature adhesives, and aerospace adhesives.

The most polar of the straight polyterpene resins, alpha pinene-based products are excellent tackifiers in pressure sensitive and hot melt adhesive systems using styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and styrene block copolymers S-I-S, S-B-S, and S-I-B-S. Other end uses include paints, coatings, caulks and sealants, investment castings, and waterproofing agents.

Beta pinene-based resins are extensively used in pressure sensitive adhesives and other solvent-based adhesives. They are useful as tackifiers for natural rubber and other nonpolar elastomers as well as in nonadhesive applications such as precision investment castings.

These resins derived from the citrus monomer d-limonene are excellent polymer modifiers for block copolymers, butyl rubber, and polyisoprene rubber. They are primarily used as tackifiers for rubber-based, pressure sensitive and hot melt adhesive systems. They are also used in premium quality chewing gum compositions as well as can sealants.

Modified polyterpene/hybrid resins are tackifiers for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), acrylic, and thermoplastic block copolymers. They are excellent in non-woven adhesives, water-white, hot melt adhesives, and low-odor hygiene applications.
