Rosin (Gum Rosin)

Gum Rosin, also referred to as Colophony or Greek Pitch, is a natural organic resin harvested from living pine trees and other conifers. The raw pine oleoresin is collected and then distilled to remove volatile terpene components like turpentine, leaving behind the solid Gum Rosin. Chemically, it is primarily composed of various resin acids, with abietic acid being a significant constituent, which contributes to its acidic nature and reactivity.

The widespread industrial use of Gum Rosin stems from its unique combination of properties. In the adhesives industry, it serves as an excellent tackifier, enhancing bond strength and viscosity. For paints and coatings, it acts as a binder, improving durability and gloss. Printing ink formulations utilize Gum Rosin to aid pigment dispersion and adhesion. It's also employed in the rubber industry as a softening agent, in paper manufacturing for sizing to control water absorption, and as an essential flux in soldering to ensure clean and effective metallic connections.
