We provide you with the best quality Gum Rosin WW Grade at the most competitive market prices. Our Gum Rosin WW Grade undergoes stringent testing measures before they are delivered to the market. We offer Gum Rosin WW Grade keeping in view the industry standards. Rosin is an ingredient in printing inks, varnishes, adhesives (glues), soap, paper sizing, soda, soldering fluxes, and sealing wax. Rosin can be used as a glazing agent in medicines and chewing gum. It is denoted by E number E915. A related glycerol ester (E445) can be used as an emulsifier in soft drinks. In pharmaceuticals, rosin forms an ingredient in several plasters and ointments.

In industry, rosin is the precursor to the flux used in soldering. The lead-tin solder commonly used in electronics has about 1% rosin as a flux core helping the molten metal flow and making a better connection by reducing the refractory solid oxide layer formed at the surface back to metal. It''''s frequently seen as the burnt or clear residue around new soldering. A mixture of pitch and rosin is used to make a surface against which glass is polished when making optical components such as lenses. Rosin is added in small quantities to traditional linseed oil/sand gap fillers, used in building work. When mixed with waxes and oils, rosin is the main ingredient of mystic smoke, a gum which, when rubbed and suddenly stretched, appears to produce puffs of smoke from the finger tips.

Rosin is extensively used for its friction-increasing capacity in several fields:

• Bowed string players rub cakes or blocks of rosin on their bow hair so it can grip the strings and make them speak. Extra substances such as beeswax, gold, silver, tin, or meteoric iron are sometimes added to the rosin to modify its stiction/friction properties, and (disputably) the tone it produces.[citation needed] Powdered rosin is often applied to new hair, for example with a felt pad or cloth, to reduce the time taken in getting sufficient rosin onto the hair.
• Violin rosin can be applied to bridges in other musical instruments, such as the Banjo and Banjolele, in order to stop the bridge moving during vigorous playing.
• Ballet and flamenco dancers sometimes rub their shoes in powdered rosin to reduce slippage before going on stage - it was at one time used in the same way in fencing and is still used as such by boxers.
• Gymnasts use it to improve grip.
• Applied onto the starting line of drag racing courses used to improve traction.
• Bull riders rub rosin on their rope and glove for additional grip.
• Baseball pitchers and ten-pin bowlers may have a small bag of powdered rosin nearby, to use on their throwing hand, for better control of the ball.

Backed by a cordial vendor base, we have been able to serve a distinguished collection of Natural Gum Rosin. Gum rosin is also known as colophony or simply, rosin. It is produced from the resin collected from the coniferous trees. A ‘V’ shaped cut is marked in trunk of tree; the resin obtained is collected, and is subjected to steam distillation. The residue left after distillation of resin is gum rosin .It shows its chemical activity when dissolved in organic solvents (does not dissolve in inorganic solvents. Presence of an acid functional group (-COOH) make its usage compatible in range of elastomers. It finds a wide collage of industrial applications like in paint, rubber, ink, paper, soaps, and chewing gums and in manufacture of other chemical intermediates. It is stored in cool and air tight container (galvanized iron drum). Owing to its invincible chemical properties, our range of Gum Rosin is demanded by clients across the nation. Our clients can avail the products at affordable rates.

Due to its high dissolvability in organic solvent like alcohol, gasoline and turpentine oil, gum rosin is a basic ingredient in paints and varnishes. Rosin ester is used in making thermoplastic paints which are used as road paints to set light reflection signs for clear and distant visibility. Rosin is used as a colour carrier in making printing ink. It adheres on paper firmly, preventing the blurring of presswork.

Gum rosin is generally used in making rubber based, pressure sensitive and hot-melt adhesive. It increases the strength, softness and adhesive power. In paper industry it used as a sizing agent to prevent the ink from dispersing on paper. It makes the paper smooth and abrasion resistant. It improves the absorption of water by paper and gives proper friction to paper, to avoid slipping of paper while printing.

Gum rosin is used in making chewing gums and as an emulsifier in soft drinks. As it is a very good insulator of electricity it is used in making cable and can be used as insulating coating in various electric appliances. It is used as a flux for soldering in electrical or electronics industries and in plumbing or pipe fitting.

The unique physical properties of rosin make it the natural choice for many products and many industries including adhesive, paint, ink, textile, soap and paper industries. In addition to its extensive use in soap making, rosin is largely employed in making varnishes (including fine violin varnishes), sealing-wax and various adhesives. It is also used for preparing shoemakers' wax, as a flux for soldering metals, for pitching lager casks, for rosining the bows of musical instruments and numerous minor purposes. Gum rosin finds its consumption in rubber industry.

It softens the rubber and increases the elasticity enabling the easy kneading and extrusion. It is also used as an emulsifier in production of various kinds of synthetic rubber like SBR, ABR and chloroperene rubber. Addition of small amount of gum rosin increases the endurance to laceration.

It is used in soap industry as a substitute of aliphatic acid because of resemblance of its chemical property with aliphatic acid and lower price. It is used as an intermediate in making antiseptics, ointments, and plasters. Gum rosin’s unique capacity of increasing friction is used by gymnasts, weight lifters, baseball pitchers and by stringed instruments players to improve grip. On the basis of color and softening point it is grouped under various grades. As the color of rosin darkens its softening point decreases.
