Hot Tack - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The tackifiers usually are hydrocarbon resins (aliphatic C5, aromatic C9) or natural resins (polyterpenes, rosin and rosin derivates, tall oil rosin ester). They improve hot tack, wetting characteristics and open time and enhance adhesion. The content on tackifiers in a hot melt can be in the region of 10–25%.
