Description

Glycerides, Elemi Resin is a natural oleoresin derived from the *Canarium* tree, primarily composed of a complex mixture of resin acids, terpenes, and essential oils. This versatile material is valued for its unique aromatic properties and functional characteristics as a tackifier, plasticizer, and film-forming agent. It serves as a key ingredient for manufacturers in the adhesives, coatings, perfumery, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural, plant-derived raw materials.

Application

• Adhesive Formulations: Acts as a natural tackifier and plasticizer in pressure-sensitive adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, and sealants.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a film-forming agent and modifier to improve gloss, flexibility, and adhesion in varnishes, lacquers, and printing inks.
• Perfumery & Fragrances: Serves as a valuable fixative and base note in high-end perfumes, soaps, and cosmetic products due to its balsamic, citrus-like aroma.
• Pharmaceutical & Plaster Bases: Employed as an ingredient in medicated plasters, ointments, and microencapsulation for its binding and slow-release properties.
• Food & Flavor Industry: Used as a flavoring agent and stabilizer, often in chewing gum and other food products (subject to appropriate purity grades and regulations).
• Industrial Arts: Applied in incense, lacquerware, and as a component in lithographic processes.

Quality Control

Our Elemi Resin is sourced and processed to meet consistent quality benchmarks for industrial use. While it is a natural product with inherent variability, we implement rigorous quality testing protocols to ensure key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, color, and odor profile fall within specified ranges. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific characteristics is available for every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation and rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
