Abietic Acid

99%

Abietic acid (CAS 514-10-3) is a white, resinous powder derived from rosin. Its meticulous preparation process involves distilling rosin, steaming out residual turpentine oil, filtering the substance at approximately 210°C, followed by cooling and crystallising to obtain the final product.

Application & Uses

  • Curing Agents:
    • Utilised as curing agents for epoxy and petrochemical products.
  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics:
  • Rubber & Polymer Industry:
    • Following sodium hydroxide saponification, it is used as a polymerisation emulsifier for styrene-butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber.
    • Additionally, it can serve as a rubber plasticiser and adhesive.
  • Adhesives & Papermaking:
    • An important ingredient in high-grade paper adhesives and gums.
  • Other Industrial Uses:
    • Can be employed as a pesticide emulsifier.
    • Used as a textile sizing agent.
    • Functions as a lubricant in construction materials.
    • Also serves as a paint drier.

Features & Benefits

  • Controlled Chemical Reactivity & Precise Formulation Flexibility:
    • Abietic acid exhibits an inherent ease of oxidation, enabling specific reactivity in certain applications, such as curing agents and paint driers.
    • Concurrently, its notable differential solubility across various alcohol solvents (solubility in descending order: Butanol + Propyl Alcohol > Anhydrous Ethanol > Methanol) provides formulators with high flexibility and precise control, allowing for the selection of the most suitable solvent system based on specific application requirements.
