  • Applications

    Abietic acid, glyceryl ester (CAS 1337-89-9) is used as a tackifier in adhesives, coatings, and printing inks to improve tack and film formation; it also acts as a plasticizer or resin modifier for rosin-based polymers, helping to increase flexibility and processability of rosin-containing formulations; in cosmetics and perfumery it may serve as a fragrance fixative or ingredient due to the resinous character of rosin derivatives; it can function as an emollient or texture-modifying component in personal care products; and it serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of rosin-derived specialty chemicals and polymers for various industrial applications.
