  • Applications

    Sodium abietate (CAS 14351-66-7), a salt derived from the abietic acid in rosin resin, is primarily considered as a resin-like additive with potential utility in perfumery, cosmetics, coatings and inks, and adhesives. In perfumery, it may act as a fragrance fixative or carrier, helping to retain volatile notes. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be used as a resin-based ingredient to influence texture and fragrance retention in formulations. In coatings and inks, it can function as a tackifying resin or processing aid, improving film formation and adhesion. In adhesives, sodium abietate can serve as a tackifier or resin modifier, contributing to rheology and adhesion. In cleaning/household products, it may be included as a resin-based fragrance-retaining component. Its use is typically considered where rosin-derived resin characteristics are advantageous, and its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
