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.
