Rosin Product Review

Abstract

Rosin is the non-volatile exudate of pine resin with hydrophobic characteristics that are widely used and modified as a precursor for many industrial applications such as paints, inks and adhesives. The review paper discusses the rosin, its nature, processing, production material development for green science. The composite materials have been designed and tailored with respect to desired applications to offer a potential replacement of petrochemical use. Rosin consists of different resin acids that can undergo isomerisation at elevated temperatures and interchange its form, which, can be used as a rigid building block to manipulate their mechanical properties and crystallisation behaviours. Modified rosin epoxy binders have been recognised as materials with resistance to a wide variety of chemical conditions that can be used to fabricate a variety of reinforced constructions. Rosin has been employed in foam making in addition to composite material, depicting its ability as a crosslinker.

Asphaltenes as a tackifier for hot‐melt adhesives based on the styrene‐isoprene‐styrene block copolymer

“…[ 21 ] The polymer base is composes more than half of the adhesive and is responsible for its strength, elasticity, viscosity, and adhesion. The second main component of HMAs (about 30% of the volume) is a tackifier, as which different resins are applied, both natural (rosins, terpenes, and their derivatives) [ 22,23 ] and synthetic (hydrocarbon, [ 24,25 ] terpene‐phenol, [ 26 ] and indene‐coumarone resins [ 27‐29 ] ). Resins are used to increase the adhesion of the glues, improve their wetting capability, and reduce viscosity.…”

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles toward highly efficient photocatalysis and antibacterial application

“…As mentioned previously, plant extracts were used as common precursors for nanomaterial synthesis due to their relatively high levels of the steroids, saponins, carbohydrates, and flavonoids which act as reducing agents and phytoconstituents as capping agents, providing stability to the nanoparticles [ 27 ]. Rosin is also a plant-derived material containing different resin acids, especially abietic acid and pimaric acid with a general chemical formula of C 20 H 30 O 2 (C 19 H 29 COOH) [ 28 ]. It is the inexpensive and eco-friendly solid byproduct obtained after refining turpentine from Pinus latteri trees to produce turpentine oil, which is usually used as a precursor for many industrial applications such as paints, inks, adhesives, soap, and glue production [ 28 ].…”

Obviously, there is a high potential of using rosin as a green precursor for nanomaterial synthesis.…”
