PACKAGING

The Chinese rosin (CROSIN) is normally packaged in galvanized steel drums in solid form with a net weight of 496 lbs. (225 kg), gross weight is approximately 513 lbs. Chinese Rosin is also available in 55-Lb bags in boxes or on pallet. Special care should be taken when using crushed rosin for hot-melt adhesive applications to ensure a safe environment since dust may flash (explode) in temperatures above 204ºC (400°F).

These specifications are typical of this Rosin, but since it is a natural product, we cannot guarantee them.

(Typical mixture of 95% Pinus Massoniana and 5% Pinus Elliottii)
