C5 Hydrocarbon Resin

C5 Hydrocarbon Resin

CAS NO.:   64742-16-1

C5 hydrocarbon resin, also known as petroleum resin, is a non -toxic substance in granular form, with a color close to light yellow. It isn't a high polymer but a low polymer with the molecular weight between 300-3000. Featured by acid value, easy mutual solubility, resistant to water, resistant to ethanol and chemicals. It has the chemical stabilizing property to acid and alkaline, viscosity adjusting and thermal stabilizing. C5 resins are mainly used as tackifiers in adhesives (e.g. hot melt, pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc.), and also in road marking paints and rubber products, coating(especially traffic paint), printing ink, paper, etc.

Basic information

Chemical Name：                         C5 Hydrocarbon Resin

CAS No.:                                        64742-16-1

EINECS No.：                                265-116-8

Specification

Typical Properties

Insoluble in water, ketone solvents, and glycol solutions, but it has very good solubility in aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, and chlorinated solvents such as chloroform. It benefits from excellent flexibility and adhesion properties. C5 petroleum resin belongs to the category of aliphatic resins with low molecular weight, capable of providing good chemical stability in acidic and alkaline environments, and can be blended with C9 petroleum resin.

Packing
