Product Details

Sodium Rosinate

Pasand™ SRT100 is produced by the saponification of refined rosin acids (primarily abietic acid) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It is a complex mixture of diterpene acid salts. Due to the bulky, hydrophobic structure of the rosin molecule, it provides unique physical properties compared to linear fatty acid soaps.

Features And Benefits

  • Inherits the natural adhesive properties of rosin, enhancing the "stickiness" of formulations.
  • The unique tricyclic structure of the rosin acid skeleton provides superior stability for oil-in-water emulsions.
  • Effectively generates small, stable air bubbles in cementitious mixtures.
  • Often used in combinatio with fatty acid soaps (like Sodium Oleate) to provide a balance of cleaning and stabilizing properties.
  • Derived from natural pine resin, making it an environmentally sustainable alternative to synthetic petroleum surfactants.

Application

  • Used as a traditional internal sizing agent to improve the water resistance and ink-holdout properties of paper and paperboard.
  • Used as an air-entraining agent in concrete and mortar to improve freeze-thaw resistance and workability.
  • Acts as a primary emulsifier in the emulsion polymerization of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Chloroprene Rubber.
  • Utilized in the formulation of soluble cutting oils and degreasers where high surface activity is required.
  • Used as an emulsifier to stabilize bitumen emulsions for road construction and roofing.
