Description

Abitol CAS NO 13393-93-6 is a high-purity hydrogenated diterpene alcohol, valued for its excellent stability, low color, and mild odor profile. This makes it a superior alternative to traditional rosin-derived products in applications requiring enhanced oxidative and color stability. It is an essential intermediate and additive for manufacturers in the adhesives, coatings, inks, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Adhesive Formulations: Acts as a tackifier and plasticizer in hot-melt, pressure-sensitive, and sealant applications, improving flexibility and adhesion.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a resin modifier and dispersing agent to enhance gloss, flow, and pigment wetting in solvent-based and UV-curable systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a film-forming agent, viscosity modifier, and emollient in products like nail polish, hair sprays, and creams.
• Polymer Modification: Functions as a processing aid and compatibilizer in various polymer blends to improve mechanical properties and processing characteristics.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Employed as a thickening agent and performance additive to enhance tackiness and water resistance.
• Flavors and Fragrances: Used as a fixative and blending agent due to its mild, woody odor and high stability.
