Abstract
A process for preparing a stabilized rosin ester having a higher softening point which comprises subjecting a rosin to disproportionation and purification, and esterifying the resulting purified disproportionated rosin with a tri- or more valent polyhydric alcohol to give a rosin ester having a softening point (according to ring and ball method) of 65.degree. to 140.degree. C. The resulting rosin ester has superior heat resistance and aging resistance as well as a high softening point and is suitably employed as a tackifier for pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions and hot-melt compositions.
