Gum rosin — questions buyers ask
Answers from the trading desk. If yours is not here, put it in the enquiry and it will be answered in the reply.
Our WW grade rosin typically tests at a softening point of 76°C to 78°C (Ring and Ball method). Exact figures are tested per batch and documented on the CoC.
New heavy-gauge galvanized or lacquer-lined 225 kg net open-head steel drums with secure locking rings.
Standard supply is drummed to prevent crystallization and contamination. 80 drums fit into a 20ft container (18 MT net).
Not less than 165 mg KOH/g on the WW and X grades, making it ideal for saponification in sizing and emulsifier production.
Drums are stowed on desiccated timber dunnage with container desiccant packs to absorb condensation during ocean voyages.
