Hercolyn D, a hydrogenated methyl ester of rosin, is widely used as a plasticizer and tackifier in adhesives, inks, and coatings. It improves film flexibility, adhesion, and gloss while maintaining chemical stability and low volatility. In pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives, it enhances tack and cohesion, ensuring long-lasting performance under varied environmental conditions.
In the coatings and printing industry, Hercolyn D acts as a resin modifier and flow enhancer. It improves wetting, pigment dispersion, and leveling in paints, lacquers, and varnishes. Its excellent compatibility with natural and synthetic resins makes it ideal for alkyd, acrylic, and phenolic resin systems, providing improved gloss and durability.
Hercolyn D is used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a fixative and emollient. It provides smooth film-forming properties, enhances texture, and increases fragrance retention in products such as perfumes, creams, lotions, and makeup bases. Its mild odor and low skin irritation profile make it suitable for skin-safe cosmetic formulations.
In rubber compounding and polymer modification, Hercolyn D acts as a plasticizer, improving flexibility and aging resistance. It’s also used as a lubricant additive and process aid in specialty chemical manufacturing. Additionally, its stability makes it useful in electrical insulating compounds, polishes, and wax blends.
Hercolyn D serves as a fragrance carrier and fixative, extending the life of volatile perfume ingredients. It enhances olfactory stability and is compatible with a wide range of aromatic and essential oils used in soaps, detergents, and personal care fragrances.
