It is designed mainly for use as a softener or plasticizer for elastomeric masticatory agents used in chewing gum compositions. It can also be used as a modifier for rubbers, film formers, and waxes in other applications where resistance to aging and minimum odor are requirements. Chewing gum bases Elastomers Film formers Modifier Waxes Pale, hard, thermoplastic, glycerol ester of a polymerized rosin. Used as a modifier for rubbers, film formers and waxes. Offers resistance to aging and minimum odor.
