C5 Resin (for HMA, PSA, tapes and rubber)
Aromatic-modified aliphatic C5 hydrocarbon resins from naphtha thermal cracking, with well-balanced pressure-sensitive adhesive properties.
Key properties
- Softening point 90–117 °C (grade dependent)
- Colour (Gardner) max. 3–9
- Melt viscosity 50–500 cps (200 °C)
- Good compatibility with base elastomers
