Hydrogenated petroleum resin is a high-quality, versatile, water-white tackifying resin primarily used in the manufacturing of hot melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and other adhesives. It plays a role in tackification, compatibility, thermal stability, and light stability. This resin is mainly produced from cracked carbon C5 fractions, combined with monomer fractions and aromatic fractions to enhance bonding properties through various chemical reactions and processing techniques.
Key characteristics of hydrogenated petroleum resin include:
Strong Tackiness
It provides excellent tackifying effects, improving the adhesive properties of adhesives used in various bonding applications.
Good Stability
The resin exhibits good thermal stability and light stability, maintaining excellent performance under high temperature and light exposure conditions.
Excellent Compatibility
It has good compatibility with other resins, plasticizers, fillers, etc., allowing for effective mixing with other materials.
Colorless and Odorless
The resin is water-white, with no noticeable odor or color, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for various applications.
Chemical Resistance
It shows good resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, making it less prone to corrosion or discoloration.
Applications of hydrogenated petroleum resin are widespread and include:
Hot Melt Adhesives and Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives
It is a crucial raw material in the production of hot melt adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives, enhancing the adhesiveness and stability of these adhesives for use in packaging, labeling, medical supplies, construction materials, etc.
Inks and Coatings
It serves as a tackifier and cross-linking agent in inks and coatings, improving the adhesion and durability of printed materials and coatings.
Rubber Products
Used as a tackifier and softening agent in rubber products, it enhances the elasticity and durability of rubber.
Road Marking Paints
Applied as a tackifying agent in road marking paints to improve adhesion and durability of road markings.
