Hydrocarbon Solvent

Product Description

What is Hydrocarbon Resin?

Hydrocarbon resin is a synthetic product derived from the polymerization of petroleum-based feedstocks like C5, C9, or DCPD. These resins are typically used to enhance the performance of adhesives, rubber, coatings, inks, and other industrial products due to their tackifying and binding properties.

Hydrocarbon resins are known for their:

         Excellent thermal stability

         Compatibility with various polymers

         Strong adhesion and tackifying properties

         Light color and low odor (for hydrogenated grades)

Types of Hydrocarbon Resins

There are several types of hydrocarbon resins based on the feedstock:

1.      C5 Hydrocarbon Resin
Derived from aliphatic C5 fractions. Commonly used in hot-melt adhesives, rubber compounding, and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

2.      C9 Hydrocarbon Resin
Aromatic-based and ideal for coatings, paints, and printing inks.

3.      C5/C9 Copolymer Resin
Combines the properties of both C5 and C9 for applications requiring balanced tack, strength, and compatibility.

4.      Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin
Offers superior color stability and weather resistance, making it suitable for hygiene products, food packaging, and other sensitive applications.

Applications of Hydrocarbon Resin

Hydrocarbon resins are widely used in multiple industries, such as:

         Adhesives & Sealants
Enhances tack, peel strength, and cohesion in hot-melt adhesives (HMA) and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA).

         Rubber & Tyres
Improves processability, tack, and filler dispersion in rubber compounds.

         Paints & Coatings
Acts as a film-forming agent and improves gloss and adhesion in paints and varnishes.

         Inks
Used to enhance color intensity, fast-drying, and print quality in ink formulations.

         Tapes & Labels
Offers strong bonding and clarity in tape and label manufacturing.
