Gum Rosin Flakes, Brazilian, WW Grade

Gum Rosin Flakes, also known as colophony, are light yellow-amber in color and sourced from Pinus Elliottii, commonly known as the slash pine. This WW grade rosin complies with Class A, Type I, Grade WW Mil. Spec. A-A-59142. It is supplied in a mixture of small and large flakes, crystals, occasional large lumps, and fine powder. The product is brittle at room temperature but melts at stove-top temperatures. Gum Rosin Flakes are widely used in printing inks, varnishes, adhesives, soaps, sealing wax, soldering fluxes, depilatory hard wax, and paper sizing. 550 lb pallets of rosin are available at discounted prices or free shipping within parts of the U.S.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Used in printing inks for enhanced adhesion and color quality.
• Essential in varnishes, adhesives, and paper sizing.
• Key ingredient in depilatory wax (hard wax) formulations.
• Used in soaps, sealing wax, and soldering fluxes.
• 550 lb pallets available with free shipping in select regions.
• Brazilian rosin is a good choice for scalding hogs—provided its properties (a slightly higher softening point and lower tackiness) result in a more controlled adhesion that minimizes skin damage and eases cleanup.

Caution:

Store in a cool, dry place. Handle with proper safety precautions. Refer to the SDS for detailed safety and handling instructions.

Oleic Acid

Oleic Acid is a versatile yellow to red oily liquid with a characteristic lardlike odor. Known for its ability to darken upon exposure to air, it is insoluble in water but readily soluble in alcohol, ether, and most organic solvents. This nontoxic and combustible compound serves as an essential ingredient in soap production, providing a slippery feel, stingy lather, and gentle conditioning properties, making it suitable for skin. Oleic Acid is also widely used as a soldering flux for joining lead components and as an emulsifier in industrial applications. With a typical analysis showing a high content of oleic acid (67%-77%), alongside linoleic acid (5%-15%), it is a high-quality fatty acid suitable for specialized purposes.

Key Features

• Yellow to red oily liquid with lardlike odor.
• Darkens on exposure to air, soluble in alcohol and ether.
• Nontoxic and combustible, versatile in industrial use.
• Enhances soap lather, conditioning, and skin-friendliness.
• Effective soldering flux and emulsifier for multiple applications.
