| Amorphous Polyolefin |
Eastoflex |
Recommended as base resins in a variety of applications requiring low odor APOs |
|
| Hydrocarbon Resin |
Picco |
Recommended when excellent acid and moisture resistance combined with outstanding pigment wetting is vital |
|
| Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin |
Eastotac |
Suggested for applications where excellent color stability and low odor are critical |
|
| Regalite |
Used to achieve an optimal balance of mid-block and end-block compatibility in styrenic block copolymer formulations |
| Hydrogenated Pure Monomer Resin |
Regalrez |
Useful in formulating systems with high clarity and UV resistance such as clear sealants, window bedding compounds, and exterior-grade PSA tapes and labels |
|
| Pure Monomer Resin |
Kristalex |
Made from pure monomers so they are water-white in color and extremely stable against thermal and oxidative degradation |
|
| Piccotex |
Suitable for adhesive applications where color and stability are critical when a highly colored aromatic tackifier will not suffice |
| Rosin Resin |
Dymerex |
Recommended to improve adhesion with less cohesion loss |
|
| Lewisol 28-M |
Lewisol 28-M resin is well suited for use in lacquers, low temperature heat-cured enamels, certain printing inks, and grease resistant coatings |
| Lewisol 29-M |
Lewisol 29-M resin offers excellent solubility, good solvent evaporation, good resistance to oxidation and low viscosity in solution for making RS Nitrocellulose lacquers |
| Permalyn |
Excellent choice when gloss is important in hot melt applications |
| Poly-Pale |
Recommended in applications requiring no crystallization |
| Staybelite-E |
Recommended when a combination of oxidation resistance, tack retention and good color stability is required |
Tall Oil and Fatty
Acid Derivative |
Pamolyn |
Recommended in applications where low odor combined with excellent color stability is important |
|
| Water-Dispersible Polymer |
Eastman AQ |
Ideally suited for applications where adhesive removal after application is required such as re-pulping of paper and plastic and glass recycling |
