SYLVALITE™ RE 88F

SYLVALITE RE 88F rosin ester is a very light and stable glycerol ester with a medium softening point. This resin is compatible with a broad range of polymers, which enables formulation flexibility in various hot melt and solvent based adhesive applications. This rosin ester is especially suitable for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and labels application. The low Tg of SYLVALITE RE 88F rosin ester provides enhanced performance at lower temperatures.

Storage & Handling

Storage Recommendation

It is recommended that SYLVALITE RE 88F rosin ester stored and transported dry and below 20°C / 70°F. To prevent remassing, keep away from direct sun light or other sources of heat. Product stored or transported at higher temperatures should be evaluated for impact on performance before use. Due to its low Tg, do not stack pallets on top of each other during storage. Mild remassing or compaction of the product that is readily broken apart is not considered a basis for rejection of the product.
