PROPERTIES:

Hydrocarbon resins are amorphous thermoplastic polymers produced by polymerization of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The feedstock are various by-products of naphtha crackers.¹ These resins have typically a low molecular weight ranging from about 400 to 5000 g/mol. The three main types are C5 aliphatic, C9 aromatic, and DCPD cycloaliphatic resins. They are sometimes hydrogenated to reduce discoloration and to improve their heat and UV stability

Types :

1-C9 PETROLEUM RESIN: is a kind of polymers, it has the properties of good heat stability, , viscidity, light stability, it’s designed for Paints, rubber, Adhesive, Printing ink industries.
2-C5 PETROLUM RESIN : are made from C5 piperylene and its derivatives. The most important ones are cis/trans 1,3-pentadienes, 2-methyl-2-butene, cyclopentene, cyclopentadiene, and dicyclopentadiene . They also have a light yellow to light brown color and possess excellent heat stability

C5/C9 COLORS :
