Foral AX E

Foral AX E
Technical Datasheet 
Foral AX E is an alcohol soluble, fully hydrogenated rosin used as a tackifier. Offers good resistance to oxidation, medium softening point and very light color. Used in assembly, bookbinding, caulks, sealants, contact adhesives, case & carton sealing closings and hot-melt adhesives. Compatible with natural and synthetic waxes, resins, rubber, drying and non-drying alkyds, blow castor oil, ethylcellulose, synthetic elastomers, thermoplastic polymers and copolymers. Foral AX E is also suitable for laminating, non-wovens, non food contact packaging, pressure sensitive adhesives, solvent-borne adhesives, tapes, labels and water-borne adhesives.

Foral AX E - Fully Hydrogenated Rosin

Product description
Foral AX E fully hydrogenated rosin is a thermoplastic, acidic resin produced by hydrogenating rosin to an exceptionally high degree. It is the palest, most highly stabilized rosin commercially available. Compared with Staybelite™ resin-E partially hydrogenated rosin, a hydrogenated rosin long established and widely used for its pale color and high oxidation resistance, Foral AX E has better initial color and color retention, and even greater resistance to oxidation.

It is especially indicated as the tackifier and resin modifier in solvent adhesives and hot-melt applied coatings and adhesives that must excel in these properties. It is also used in UV cured acrylics to improve adhesion to low surface energy substrates.

Foral 85-E CG - Hydrogenated Rosinate 
Foral™ 85-E CG hydrogenated rosinate is a cosmetic grade resin derived from the esterification of a highly stabilized gum rosin and glycerol. This light amber, thermoplastic resin has excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration caused by heat and aging.

Foral 85-E - Ester of Hydrogenated Rosin 
Foral™ 85-E ester of hydrogenated rosin is a very pale, thermoplastic ester resin derived from glycerol and a highly stabilized rosin that has outstanding resistance to oxidation, and to discoloration caused by heat and aging.

Foral 105-E CG - Hydrogenated Rosinate 
Foral™ 105-E CG hydrogenated rosinate is a cosmetic grade resin derived from the esterification of a highly stabilized gum rosin and pentaerythritol. This thermoplastic resin has excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration caused by heat and aging.

Hydrogenated resin

Foral AX
Foral AX rosin is a thermoplastic, acidic resin produced by hydrogenating wood rosin to an exceptionally high degree.

Key properties
It is the palest, most highly stabilized rosin commercially available.
Compared with Staybelite resin, a hydrogenated rosin long established and widely used for its pale color and high oxidation stability, Foral AX resin has better initial color and color retention, and even greater resistance to oxidation.

Applications
Foral AX resin is especially indicated as the tackifier and resin modifier in solvent adhesives and hot melt applied coatings and adhesives that must excel in these properties.

Foral AX resin is particularly suited to food contact applications.

Tackifier or modifier for the following adhesive systems: hot melt/pressure-sensitive/solvent-based/emulsion-based/sealants
Modifier in solvent-based or heat-sealable coatings
Component of thermoplastic compounds and hot melt depilatory waxes
Plastifier/modifier of natural and synthetic rubber goods
