INTRODUCTION
Indorez® Kota Resin is a modified non self-cured phenolic resin, it can increase rubber adhesion to steel, polyester, rayon, nylon, aramid and other fabric cord. It’s an adhesive agent, acts as methylene acceptor, can 100% replace resorcinol and resorcinol resins in resorcinol- formaldehyde-silica, enhance adhesion between rubber and reinforcing materials.
It can substantially reduce fumes and weight loss compared to resorcinol; Kota is more environmentally friendly than resorcinol. Compared to RE and RF, KOTA is anti caking and with good storage stability, helps to reduce labor cost. It requires a methylene donor, e.g. HMMM or HEXA to complete the reaction and become thermoset.
This resin is mainly used by tyre manufacturers, hose manufacturers, conveyor belt manufacturers, textile-reinforced rubber product manufacturers.

| KOTA Resin is used by manufacturers of: Tyres, Conveyor belts (Textile and steel-cord belts) Industrial hoses, V-belts, timing belts & transmission belts, Rubberised fabrics and coated textiles, Rubber composites requiring strong interlayer bonding. |
| KOTA Resin is often incorporated in RFL (Resorcinol–Formaldehyde–Latex) dip formulations to increase bonding strength |
| Others |
| Kota resins have diverse applications across industries, including the production of high-pressure laminates for countertops, a binder for brake linings and clutch facings in the automotive sector, and electrical insulation for components like printed circuit boards. |
| They are also used in construction materials like plywood and particleboard, as adhesives for wood products, and as protective coatings due to their excellent heat, chemical, and water resistance. |
| They also find applications in hot melt traffic paints, coatings & primers, lamination adhesives, abrasive products. |
PROCESSING ADVANTAGES:
• Compatible with common rubbers like NR, SBR, BR, NBR
• Works in both dipping and compounding processes
• Provides consistent bonding during vulcanization
• Improves dispersion and wetting of fibres/cords

1,4,7-Trimethyl-1,4,7-triazonane (Me₃TACN) is a valuable macrocyclic tridentate ligand derived from 1,4,7-triazacyclononane. In Me₃TACN, each nitrogen atom is substituted with a methyl group, which significantly modifies its steric and electronic properties. Me₃TACN is widely used as a ligand in coordination chemistry due to its ability to form stable complexes with transition metals such as Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Zn.
Adenosine is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside composed of adenine and ribose, present in all living cells. It plays a vital role in biochemical processes such as energy transfer (ATP/ADP), signal transduction, and regulation of physiological functions, and is widely used in pharmaceutical applications.
Methyl-2-Methoxy-5-Sulfamoyl Benzoate (MSMB) is a sulfur containing organic building block acting as a chemical intermediate. MSMB contains ester and sulfamoyl functional groups, which make it useful as a pharmaceutical and fine-chemical intermediate.
Imidazolidinyl urea is a widely used antimicrobial preservative in the cosmetic and personal care industry. It is a formaldehyde-releasing compound that effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds, thereby extending the shelf life of formulations. Due to its broad-spectrum efficacy and cost-effectiveness, it is commonly used in rinse-off and leave-on products within regulated concentration limits.
Phosphorodiamidites are a unique class of phosphorus-based compounds characterized by one P–O bond and two P–N moieties. 2-Cyanoethyl tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite plays a crucial role in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Beyond their application as synthetic precursors for oligonucleotides, phosphorodiamidites have also been reported as valuable starting materials for the synthesis of industrially relevant polymers and flame-resistant materials, including adhesives, coatings, and laminates.
Ferric maltol is an oral iron complex composed of ferric iron (Fe³⁺) chelated with maltol, designed to improve iron absorption while reducing common gastrointestinal side effects associated with traditional iron salts. It is primarily used in the management of iron deficiency with better tolerability.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is one of the most important phospholipids derived from soya lecithin and represents a key structural component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine 90% refers to a highly purified grade where the PC content is enriched to around 90% through specialized extraction and purification steps.
Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (GSC) is a plant-derived, biodegradable emulsifier commonly used in cosmetics and personal-care products. It functions primarily as an anionic oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier, helping blend oils and water into smooth, stable creams and lotions. Its natural origin and gentle profile make it popular in eco-certified, organic, and sensitive-skin formulations.
DL-Serine is a racemic mixture of both the D- and L-forms of the amino acid serine, which is a polar, nonessential amino acid. It is an α-amino acid characterized by its hydroxyl-containing side chain, which enables it to take part in numerous biochemical reactions and synthetic processes. It functions as a pivotal intermediate in the biosynthesis of amino acids, including glycine and cysteine, underscoring its essential role in cellular metabolism. Moreover, it constitutes a critical pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of a broad spectrum of therapeutic agents and drug candidates.
