Eastman™ Ester Gum 8WA-M kosher is recommended for use as clouding and weighting agent for citrus-flavored non-alcoholic beverage concentrates.
Resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or it could have an adverse affect on the solubility of the resin in organic solvents or in its compatibility with polymers. Accordingly, it is recommended that strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first.
Eastman™ Ester Gum 8WA-M kosher will remain within product specification limits as mentioned under the heading "Product Specifications", for a period of 1 year (inner aluminum layer) from production date and if storage conditions outlined in this data sheet are observed.
However, as we can neither anticipate the conditions under which the resin is processed nor the end use applications for which is used, we recommend that the material be tested upon receipt.
