Improved Substrate Wetting,

Low Odor

Properties

• Hercolyn D resin is given a special steam purification treatment to assure consistent mild odor. Hercolyn D resin is used extensively in fragrance compounds, where it functions as a fixative, carrier, and compatibilizer, and in the formulation of chewing gum base.
• It is also used as a resinous plasticizer or tackifier in finished products such as lacquers, inks, adhesives, floor tiles, artificial leather, and antifouling paints.

Benefits

• High refractive index
• Low odor
• High boiling point
• Low vapor pressure
• Resistant to oxidation
• Excellent pigment wetting properties
• Wide solubility and compatibility ranges
