Staybelite® Ester 5

Staybelite® Ester 5 rosin is the glycerol ester of partially hydrogenated gum rosin, specially processed for superior taste and odour characteristics. It is a pale, thermoplastic rosin with excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration. Its principal use is in chewing gum bases where it imparts masticatory properties in combination with polymers and other ingredients. The oxidation resistance of Staybelite Ester 5 resin helps finished chewing gums retain chewability, consistency and flavour throughout their shelf lives.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information
  • Stability of about 12 months in standard storage conditions, sheltered and temperature-controlled (<25°C).
  • No stacking of pallets.
  • Remove the plastic film protection from the pallet once correctly stored.
  • As this product is sensitive to gradual oxidation and to compaction, appropriate storage and a strict inventory control is critical (oldest material used first) especially during hot periods.
  • Over time, storage at higher temperature and pressure (from stacking pallets) will accelerate re-massing of this product.
