APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Rosin Ester
The carboxylic acid group of a rosin acid can be converted to an ester through a reaction with various alcohols. The molecular weight and functionality of the alcohol determines the softening point of the subsequent ester. Glycerol with three reactive sites and pentaerythritol with four available hydroxyl groups are the most commonly used alcohols.
