Polymerized Rosin Products Added to FloraRez Line
Florachem is expanding its FloraRez line with three polymerized rosin products. These consist of rosin acids that have been partially dimerized to various degrees, yielding acid functionality with higher softening points than rosin. Non-crystallizing, these resins offer the formulator improved specific adhesion with less loss in cohesion. Applications include adhesives, inks, and coatings.
FloraRez DR95
FloraRez DR115
FloraRez DR140
These products have R&B softening points of 90°C to 145°C, with specific acid number and color parameters. Please contact us for further information.
A major U.S. manufacturer has announced a Florida plant closure and withdrawal of dimerized rosin products from the market. FloraRez products offer continuity of supply from stock points located throughout the USA.

Florida Citrus Crop final results for 2007-2008
This year’s Florida orange crop finished at 169.7 million boxes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The crop represents a 32 percent increase from the 2006-2007 season.
The 169.7 million boxes consist of 83.5 million boxes of Early-Mids and navels, and 86.2 million boxes of Valencias.
The Florida citrus industry saw a decline in orange production from 230 million boxes to 129 million boxes during the five-year period between the 2001-2002 season and the 2006-2007 season, largely due to the effects of hurricanes, development, and pests and diseases such as citrus canker and greening.
Floramask(TM) Odor Masks product line expanded
Florachem has introduced several new odor mask products which are specifically formulated for cost-effective industrial applications. Floramask™ products neutralize many undesirable odors such as sulfur and amine compounds. Currently, we offer eleven different Floramask™ products, with scents that include citrus, fresh breeze, and lavender among others.
Please type in “Floramask” under PRODUCT SEARCH and download our new product information sheet.
Florida Citrus Crop Estimate for 2006-2007 lowest in 17 years
The U.S. Department of Agriculture today released its first Florida Citrus crop estimate for the 2006-2007 season, anticipating production of 135 million boxes, down from last season’s total of 147.9 million boxes. The 9% decrease in production has been attributed to slow recovery of trees from hurricane damage two years ago. In addition, yields have been affected by canker eradication programs and simply a loss of tree acreage to land development.
A crop of 135 million boxes would be the lowest since the 1989-1990 season when freeze damage resulted in a yield of only 110.2 million boxes. Florida is second largest orange producing region in the world behind Brazil.
Florachem stragetically sources orange oil, d-Limonene and other derivative products from global production regions. Our goal is to manage supply such that we can meet the long term requirements of our customers.
