TECKROS®...The widest range of rosin ester and other rosin tackifiers in the industry to meet customer performance and supply assurance needs includes many useful choices in color, softening point, acid value, polarity, and molecular structure:
- Color - water-white (Teckros SL/SLX series rosin esters) to amber
- Wide Tg range: Liquid plasticizer/tackifiers (Teckros RL series rosin esters) for enhanced adhesion and low temperature performance...to very high softening points (Teckros R120 and RP series) for improved strength and heat resistance along with excellent polymer compatibility
- Stabilized for excellent hot melt, aging and storage stability
- Hydrogenated rosin esters (Teckros H series) for optimum oxidative and UV stability
- Modified, dimerized and other high acid functionality products (Teckros NC, D, and AF series)
- Water dispersible rosin ester and dispersion products (Teckros Q series)
Standard Rosin Esters
|
Equivalent to or better than commonly used rosin esters in color, odor and adhesive performance for hot melt, pressure sensitive and construction adhesives and many other applications.

Dimerized/"Polymerized" ("D") and Modified/Non-Crystallizing ("NC") Rosins
|
Dimerized ("polymerized") rosins contribute a unique combination of high softening point (heat resistance) and low molecular weight (melt and solution viscosity). Teckros® NC series are non-crystallizing monomeric rosin products. High acid functionality contributes enhanced adhesion and surface wetting.
