Dicyclopentadiene DCPD Hydrocarbon Resin

Pale yellow thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin with good compatibility, adhesion performance, and chemical resistance.

Chemical Properties

DCPD Hydrocarbon Resin is a pale yellow thermoplastic resin produced by the polymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), which is derived from the C5 fraction of the steam cracking process. It exhibits good compatibility with various resin systems, drying oils, and rubber compounds, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

The resin provides good adhesion, wetting properties, water resistance, and chemical stability. It is widely used in inks, adhesives, coatings, and rubber formulations to improve processing performance and overall product properties.

Storage

1. Package: 25kg/bag .

2. Storage: Kept in a low temperature, dry and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight. Avoid in open air;

3. Do not stack excessively during storage or transportation, as prolonged pressure may cause the resin granules to agglomerate or cake.

4. When in use, the resin should prevent from touching with metals (such as Fe, Cu and so on) oil, organic molecular microbiology and strong oxidizing agents. Avoid tolow Ion exchange capacity, or even losing their function.
