Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) is a naturally sourced solid resin obtained from pine tree oleoresin through tapping and distillation. Also known as colophony, it appears as a translucent yellow-to-amber substance with excellent tackiness, adhesion, and film-forming abilities. These properties make it a foundational ingredient in adhesives, printing inks, rubber compounding, and coatings.
Its natural origin and renewable sourcing, especially from pine plantations in regions like Indonesia and India, make Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) a sustainable raw material for industries seeking eco-conscious alternatives. Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) is also used in soldering flux, paper sizing agents, and varnishes due to its chemical reactivity, particularly from resin acids like abietic acid.
HTP supplies high-purity Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) tailored for industrial use, ensuring consistent performance across applications that require strength, flexibility, and environmental compatibility.

Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades), also known as colophony, is a renewable, plant-derived resin collected from the oleoresin of living pine trees. It is obtained through a tapping process followed by distillation, which separates volatile turpentine from the solid rosin. The result is a brittle, glassy material with a characteristic amber hue and faint pine aroma.
Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) is composed primarily of resin acids such as abietic acid, giving it strong adhesive and reactive properties. This makes it highly sought after in industrial sectors such as adhesives and sealants, rubber manufacturing, coatings, paints, printing inks, and paper sizing. In adhesives, it serves as a tackifier; in paints and inks, it improves gloss and durability; and in rubber, it enhances plasticity and processing.
Thanks to its compatibility with organic solvents, Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) is also used in soldering fluxes and surface treatments where clean bonding and reactivity are critical. Modified forms like hydrogenated or esterified rosins expand its utility in high-performance and color-sensitive applications.
With a consistent supply chain and quality control, HTP offers premium-grade Gum Rosin (All Rosin Grades) that meets the evolving demands of industrial clients across sectors while supporting sustainability goals.
