Industrial Solvents Handbook Table 2.123 Arizona Terpene Products (5)... 

Terpene-based resins are obtained from turpentine sulfate, a byproduct of the paper industry, and from limonene, a product of the citrus industry. Products obtained are alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and dipentene. The alpha-pinenes are apparently the preferred product for hot melt adhesives as they are the most compatible with EVA copolymers. Adhesives compounded with dipentenes have excellent color and thermal stability, odor, oxidation resistance and hot tack properties. Typical of the products available in this class are the Piccolyte series of resins (Hercules). Limonene-based products are exemplified by Zonatac 105 (Arizona Chemicals).
