GUM ROSIN USES AND APPLICATIONS
Most rosin is used in a chemically modified form rather than in the raw state in which it is obtained.
It consists primarily of a mixture of abietic-type and pimaric-type acids with smaller amounts of neutral compounds.
This intrinsic acidity, coupled with other chemical properties,
enables it to be converted to a Large number of downstream derivatives which are used in a wide range of applications.
The derivatives include salts, esters and maleic anhydride adducts, and hydrogenated, disproportionated and polymerized rosins.
Their most important uses are in the manufacture of adhesives, paper sizing agents, printing inks, solders and fluxes,
various surface coatings, insulating materials for the electronics industry, synthetic rubber, chewing gums and soaps and detergents.
Rosin and its chemical derivatives are used chiefly to make soaps, varnishes, sealing wax,
printing inks, driers, sizes for paper, adhesives, binders, soldering fluxes, gloss oils for paints, and pitch for casks.
Rosin is also used on bows of violins and other stringed instruments, on the shoes of dancers, and on floors of studios and stages to prevent slipping.
