Product Description
Foralyn™ 5020-F CG hydrogenated rosinate, a cosmetic grade resin, is the methyl ester of hydrogenated gum rosin. This liquid resin has good oxidative stability and is given a special steam-sparging treatment to ensure minimum odor. With its low odor and low vapor pressure, Foralyn 5020-F CG is particularly useful as a fragrance fixative. It has excellent solubility and compatibility with non-polar and many polar ingredients in cosmetic applications, contributing both adhesion and gloss.

Packaging
Foralyn™ 5020-F CG hydrogenated rosinate is supplied in tight-head drums.

Storage
Resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or it could have an adverse effect on the solubility of the resin in organic solvents or on its compatibility with polymers. Accordingly, inside storage and "first in, first out" inventory control is recommended. Recommended storage: in original packaging, dry, free from contamination, and below 30°C.

Foralyn™ 5020-F CG hydrogenated rosinate material will remain within product specification limits for a period of at least twelve months after shipment from Eastman production facilities in the Netherlands, provided recommended storage conditions are observed. However, as we can neither anticipate the conditions under which the resin is processed nor the end-use applications for which it is used, we recommend that the material be tested upon receipt.
