Rosinox^®, a high sulfur content bleaching agent for rosin and rosin ester dismutation:

•  Rosin is composed of abietic acid which is prone to oxidation and cause crystallization

• Abietic acid represents 25 to 40 weight % in tall oil rosin

• Rosinox^® allows a conversion of abietic acid into dehydroabietic acid thus leading to rosin bleaching

Benefits and features of Rosinox^®

• Reduction of abietic acid of rosins and esters
• Increase of dehydroabietic acid of rosins and esters
• Reduction of color of rosins and esters
• Rosinox^® behavior is the same as well as in tall oil or in gum rosin esterified or not
• Antioxidant/stabilizer in the treatment of rosins and esters
• Efficient even at a low dosage 
• Easy to handle (pastille form)
• No handling of dusty powder
• Rosinox^® is FDA approved as an antioxidant/stabilizer in the processing of rosins and rosin esters for use as components of adhesives complying with FDA 21 CFR 175.105

Applications

• Adhesives and coatings
• Inks
• Rubber
