Honduran Gum Rosin

HROSIN – Honduran Gum Rosin (WG/WW)

HROSIN is a form of colophony or gum derived from various pine tree species in Honduras. It is produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile components. The resulting substance is semi-transparent and ranges in color from dark yellow to light brown.

HROSIN is primarily used in adhesives, chewing gums, coatings, cosmetics, linoleum, paints, printing inks, resins, rubber, sizes, and varnishes.

 

The primary characteristic of Honduran rosin is the presence of non-saponifiable matter. These non-acidic waxes impart unique properties to the rosin, distinguishing it from other types.

Some unique properties of Honduran rosin include:

  • Longer shelf life
  • Less brittle
  • Less dusty
  • Less crystallization
  • More transparency
  • Slightly more sticky
