Resin Solutions is a global manufacturer of specialty low molecular weight functional additives based on a variety of unique chemistries. Included are functional diene-based polymers, (meth)acrylate functional metallic monomers, and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon resins based on C5 and C9 feed streams that can serve a wide variety of applications in the adhesives, rubber and thermoplastics industries.  

Over the last 100 years, Celanese has evolved from a small experiment in a backyard shed in Switzerland to a global technology and specialty materials company with leading businesses in key geographic regions. The Dreyfus brothers had a vision for the company that included discovering market needs and finding ways to fulfill them. By honing their ability to diversify and adapt, the brothers were able to expand the company to one of the largest chemical manufacturers in the world. With a focus on safety, innovation, productivity, culture, performance and results, Celanese is positioned to achieve significant future growth and deliver exceptional results for all stakeholders. Our history below highlights the milestones that formed Celanese.

We manufacture a range of rosin resins and hydrocarbon derivatives which are well established and proven in the personal care market as adhesion promoters, skin conditioners and film formers.

Rosin resins are used in depilatories, makeup, and hair-grooming products, where they function as tackifiers, skin conditioners, or emulsifying agents. Our products help make mascara and lipstick wearable for longer, make lipstick glossy, and help deodorants hold their fragrance.

Our products come from multiple sources. For example, our gum rosin is harvested from live pine trees using a negative carbon process; our hydrocarbon resin is petroleum-based; and our plasticisers and fragrance fixatives are plant-based.
