SYLVAROS™

Tall oil rosin (TOR) is a primary biorefinery product based on crude tall oil (CTO) and is comparable to the resinous constituent found in pine tree exudates. SYLVAROS™ GRS and SYLVAROS™ NCY are unmodified tall oil rosin (TOR) with a high content of abietic type rosin acids. It is especially suited for manufacturing fortified rosin, paper size, and ink resins. SYLVAROS™ rosin and Disproportionated Rosins (DR) can manufacture polymerization and pigment-coating emulsifiers.

SYLVAROS Rosin Soaps and Disproportionated Rosin Soaps (DRS) are used as emulsifiers in the polymerization process of styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, polychloroprene, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastics. It is also used to prepare pigments, as an anchoring agent, and improve adhesive properties based on casein or polymer dispersions in the adhesive industry.
