Eastman produces a variety of tackifiers, polymers, and waxes for use in packaging adhesives. Tackifiers such as Eastotac and Piccotac hydrocarbon resin are used to modify viscosity and adhesion in hot melt adhesives.

Visit the Packaging Applications section of the Tackifier Center for specific reference information.

Physical properties comparison

Product Group	Product Brands	Benefits	Compare
Amorphous Polyolefins	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
Hydrocarbon Resin	Piccotac	Used in applications where compatibility with natural and synthetic rubbers is critical
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	Eastotac	Suggested for applications where excellent color stability and low odor are critical
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	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
Pure Monomer Resin	Piccolastic	Piccolastic hydrocarbon resins are homopolymers of purified styrene. They are low in color and are available in softening points ranging from 5-125°C.
Rosin Resin	Foral-E	Based on highly stabilized rosin developed for the adhesives and coatings industry. They are available with a softening point range from 80° to 110°C.
	Foralyn	Impart superior adhesion and excellent cohesion to adhesives based on styrenic block copolymers and acrylic polymers, especially at higher temperatures
	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
Water-Dispersible Polymer	Eastman AQ	Suited for applications where adhesive removal after application is required such as re-pulping of paper and plastic and glass recycling
