Saged Rubbed 15kg
Saged Rubbed is a natural or processed resin commonly used in industries such as adhesives, varnishes, inks, and rubber compounding. It provides tackiness, enhances adhesion properties, and contributes to film formation and durability. This product is valued for its consistent quality and performance in improving the physical properties of coatings and bonding agents.
Primary Uses
Adhesives and Sealants
Acts as a tackifier resin to improve adhesion and bonding strength in pressure-sensitive adhesives and hot melts.
Enhances peel strength and flexibility in tape, labels, and glue formulations.
Paints and Varnishes
Used in varnish formulations to increase gloss, hardness, and resistance to water and chemicals.
Improves film formation and durability of wood finishes and protective coatings.
Inks and Printing
Incorporated in printing inks to improve tack, color intensity, and drying characteristics.
Rubber Industry
Used as a tackifier in rubber compounding to improve processing and final product properties.
Secondary Uses
Cosmetics
Employed in some cosmetic formulations as a film former and adhesive ingredient in products like mascaras and lipsticks.
Food Packaging
Occasionally used in food-grade adhesive formulations for packaging applications.
Textiles
Used in textile finishing to improve fabric stiffness and surface properties.
