Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin

Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin is a transparent synthetic resin produced by the hydrogenation of hydrocarbon-based C9, C5 and DCPD monomer streams. This hydrogenation process imparts unique properties to the resin, such as oxidation resistance, tackiness, adhesion, flexibility and resistance, making it suitable for various applications across different industries such as in adhesives and in plastic compounds.

Applications of Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin

Adhesives & Sealants

  • Hot melt adhesives (HMA)
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)
  • Packaging adhesives
  • Hygiene and nonwoven construction adhesives

Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins improve tack, peel strength, and cohesive performance while maintaining light color and oxidation stability.

Coatings

  • Protective and industrial coatings
  • Road marking paints
  • Clear varnishes

Their low color and superior UV resistance make them ideal for light-colored or transparent systems requiring long-term stability.

Rubber & Polymer Modification

  • SIS, SBS, and EVA compounding
  • Tire and rubber goods
  • Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)

They enhance flexibility, adhesion, and processing performance without compromising aging resistance.

Inks

  • Printing inks
  • Packaging inks

Hydrogenated resins contribute to gloss, pigment wetting, and improved adhesion to various substrates.
