Abstract
A gum base, as well as methods for making same, is provided which is free of wax, but has an increased glass transition temperature. It has been found by removing or reducing gum base vinyl polymer softeners that the glass transition temperature of the gum base can be raised to a temperature wherein even at elevated ambient temperatures, blocking (agglomeration) does not occur.
