Water Based Ink Resin

The main material of Water Based Ink Resin is Pentaerythritol Ester Of Rosin, it’s further processed and esterified with dehydrated malate, can be dissolved in alcohols solvent and water, come with light color and color detention. Such a resin has high acid value, after dissolved in alcohol and other solvents, the PH value would come to 8.5-9.5 and can be dissolved well in the water.

Fuctions Of Gum Rosin

1. Soap Manufacturing

    Resin soap is made from gum rosin that being boiled with soda or caustic soda, it featured with detergency, soluble well in water, can easily dissolve grease, gum rosin can prevent the soap from cracking and deterioration.

2. Paper Making

    Gum rosin can be used as sizing material for paper making, put it in the pulp and add some alums, the rosin permeate in the fiber when being heated, it can be able to resist water and prevent ink ink penetration, and improve the intensity and evenness of paper.

3. Coating

    Gum rosin is soluble well in various types of solvents, can easily build a layer of film with gloss, it's the basic material of coating and paint, it comes with gloss and fast-dry, can prevent the coating layer from falling off. 

4. Printing Ink

    Gum rosin can be the chromatophore for printing ink, it can improve the adhesion between ink and paper.

5. Adhesive Products

    It's the basic material of adhesive products, such as hot-melt adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive and rubber tackifier etc.

 

6. Rubber Industry

    Can be used as the softener of rubber, it can effectively improve the elasticity of rubber products.

The Manufacturing Process Of Terpene Phenolic Resin

In many industries, such as adhesives, coating, inks and rubber, Terpene Phenolic Resin is a type of important material as tackifier, Such type of resin is made with acid catalysis,  the phenol is heated with formaldehyde to become condensation compound, and than be alkylated with terpene, the proper temperature of reaction is between 95-210°C, when the temperature go up to 160-210°C, add some decolorising agent, it would be distilled to become lower boiling point content.

Such a processing method can make the TPR (Terpene Phenolic Resin) with light color, high softening point, well compatibility and other excellent features, TPR can displace  tert butyl phenolic resin that is very expensive, can be widely used in adhesives, coatings, printing ink, electric wire, rubber & plastic.

Tackifier Resin Play An Important Role In Disposable Hygiene Products

Nowadays, disposable hygiene products are developing more and more intelligent,  thinner cores, better absorption & softness are the features that are required for baby diapers, sanitary towels, incontinence products and so on. Though adhesive has a small percentage of the total material, but it play an important role for bonding and other performances, that depends on the quality of tackifier resin applied when adhesive is being made, it no only has superior adhesivity & bonding, but also features with light color, low odor, thermal stability excellent anti-oxidation.

The Difference Between Ester Of Rosin & Terpene Resin

Ester of rosin has gum rosin as basic material and processed with polyol ester, polyol ester usually include glycerol ester and pentaerythritol ester. Glycerol ester of rosin and pentaerythritol ester of rosin can be applied to coating and ink, but pentaerythritol has better fast-dry, hardness & glossiness, not only that, it has better water-resistance, alkali-resistance and faster solvent release. If you want to enhance the color stability and other performances of ester of rosin, you can use polymerized rosin or hydrogenated rosin to instead of gum rosin, the softening point of ester of polymerized rosin is higher than ester of rosin, but hydrogenated rosin is lower.

Terpene resin, also named polyterpene resins or pinene resins. It is a series of liquid & solid linear polymer which primarily consist of α pinene or β pinene of turpentine that are catalyzed by Falk's catalytic, and polymerized by positive ion.

Features Of Maleic Resin

Maleic Resin is a type of light yellow and transparent flake that is made of refined gum rosin and maleic anhydride, and is esterified by pentaerythritol. Soluble well in coal tar, ester, plant oil, turpentine, insoluble in alcohol, very easy to be further processed. Maleic Resin has features of light color, color retention, has well solubility with nitrocotton, can improve the hardness and gloss of paint surface, not only that, it has excellent performance at water-resistance. For fast-dry enamel paint manufacturing, it can save consumption of tung oil.

Features & Applications Of Pentaerythritol Ester Of Rosin

Soluble in petroleum hydrocarbons, aromatic, esters, ketones, acetic ether, acetone, gasoline etc.
Insoluble in water and alcohol.
Pentaerythritol ester of rosin comes with light color, high softening point, thermostability, color retention, and strong adhesive force.

Application:

Can be used for hot melt adhesive, acrylic adhesive manufacturing etc.
Can be polymerized with plant oil to make phenolic resin paint.

Rosin Modified Phenolic Resin Can Be Applied For Ink Manufacturing

Rosin Modified Phenolic Resin is a compound that is made up of phenolic resin that mixed with gum rosin and be processed with additive reaction & polyol esterification, and finished with an important process that is vacuum treatment. About the key material, soluble phenolic resin, it's comounded of p tert butylphenol, dodecylphenol, tert-octylphenol or paraformaldehyde condensed with basic catalyst.

Such type of resin has excellent performance at lipid solubility, viscosity, fast-drying and water resistance, it's very suitable for application in printing ink that has glossy surface, especially ink for gravure printing.

Functions Of Terpene Phenolic Resin

Some phenolic resin manufacturers have developed their resin products with more and more excellent features, for example, terpene phenolic resin is a type of stable resin that comes with strong bonding, high softening point, adheancy and shear force, so it’s quite ideal tackifier for adhesive products. In addition to adhesive manufacturing, terpene phenolic resin also can be used as adhesive agent in rubber industry to improve the product’s durability and thermostability.
