Tackifier/softener rosin.


Proaid TOR is a 98[degrees]C softening point, low molecular weight rosin rosin or colophony, hard, brittle, translucent resin, obtained as a solid residue from crude turpentine. Usually pale yellow or amber, its color may vary from brownish-black to transparent depending on the nature of the source of the crude  produced from natural, renewable resources. This rosin's distinctive feature is that it is tall oil based and contains acid functionality (-COOH), making it compatible in a wide range of elastomers, according to according to

 the company. This rosin (or natural resin) is appropriate for use in rubber products, sealants, coatings, adhesives and printing inks. Proaid TOR is utilized in rubber products as a low-cost tackifier and softener in hoses, belts, footwear, flooring and molded goods, etc. This rosin aids in processing of a wide range of elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  compounds by increasing green tack, rate of incorporation of fillers, stock flow and improves knitting, according to the company. Proaid TOR is not recommended for light colored stocks, and the typical loading range is 10-25 phr. Proaid TOR is FDA FDA
