Hydrocarbon Resin

It is the lowest softening point product in theseries of low molecular weight; non-polar, amber colored thermoplastic resinsproduced from petroleum derived aromatic monomers. It is suggested for use inelastomers, for production of economic pressure-sensitive adhesives, masticsand sealants based on styrene-butadiene rubber where color and heat stabilityare not critical, contact adhesive based on Polychloroprene rubber, printinginks, paint and varnish, or as a processing aid in compounding of rubber. Itcan also be used as an end block modifying resin for styrene block copolymersto reduce melt viscosity while maintaining or improving shear resistance at orbelow 40°C in applications where color and heat stability are not critical.
