LINPLAST 812™ derived from trimellitic acid anhydride by reaction with mixtures of even-numbered, linear primary saturated alcohols

D.E.R.® 721 is an aliphatic liquid epoxy resin based on a reaction product of epichlorohydrin and C12-C14 alcohol.

NACOL Ether 6 are high purity biodegradable dialkyl ethers derived from analogous linear alcohols. NACOL Ether 6 is available with chain lengths between C12 and C36. NACOL Ether 6 is a low viscosity oil with good spreading properties. The specific structure of the ether provides polarity which yields advantageous solubility and solvent characteristics.

DERTOLINE® PLS is a deodorized and highly stabilized rosin esterified with pentaerythritol. It is a tackifying resin mainly suitable for hot melt adhesives based on EVA or styrene block copolymers.

Foral® 105 resin is the pentaerythritol ester of highly hydrogenated gum rosin. A pale thermoplastic resin, it offers advantages as a tackifier or modifier in various adhesive and coating compositions. Foral® 105 resin exhibits outstanding resistance to oxidation and to discoloration caused by heat and ageing. It has a substantially higher softening point than glycerol rosin esters, and is therefore recommended where a harder resin may be desirable.

ALFOL 8 Alcohol is a high purity, petrochemical-based 1-octanol (also known as octyl alcohol). It is a colorless liquid with a sweet pungent odor. ALFOL 8 Alcohol is classified as readily biodegradable in standard ready biodegradability tests. ALFOL 8 Alcohol can be esterified, ethoxylated, propoxylated, sulfated, oxidized, etc. Sasol Chemicals ALFOL alcohols are physically and chemically equivalent to corresponding oleochemical-based alcohols derived from such sources as coconut oil or palm oil.

ALFONIC 1216CO-3 Ethoxylate is a biodegradable nonionic based on a linear primary alcohol formulated to simulate that derived from coconut oil. It is liquid at room temperature, essentially 100% active, and has the following structural formula: CH₃(CH₂)ₓ(OCH₂CH₂)₃OH where ‘x’ varies between 11 and 15. The narrow range version of this ethoxylate, made using Sasol Chemicals patented NOVEL catalyst technology, is also available.

Citroflex™ A-4 is a low molecular weight citric acid ester partially derived from bio-based raw materials.

SAFOL 23 is a blend of C12 and C13 branched and linear alcohols. The branched isomers in SAFOL 23 are unique in that the branch is located mid-chain. This leaves the primary alcohol unobstructed for further derivatization. SAFOL 23 is a synthetic alcohol produced from olefins obtained using the novel Fischer-Tropsch process. Due to its saturation, SAFOL 23 demonstrates excellent oxidation and color stability. SAFOL 23's unique structure provides advantageous solubility and solvency.

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.

NACOL Ether 8 are high purity biodegradable dialkyl ethers derived from analogous linear alcohols. NACOL Ethers are available with chain lengths between C12 and C36. NACOL Ether 8 is a low viscosity oil with good spreading properties. The specific structure of the ether provides polarity which yields advantageous solubility and solvent characteristics.
