Akrochem HR-100 Thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin Akrochem Tackifier >> Hydrocarbon resin >> Mixed aliphatic / aromatic Rubber - Elastomer (Chloroprene, Butyl …) HR-100 is a 100°C softening point, thermoplastic hydrocarbon tackifing resin. It’s main constituent is aromatic resin in combination with very little aliphatic resin. HR-100 is designed for use in rubber goods - especially those loaded with non-black fillers. It has excellent color, helps build tack and binds together and disperses mineral fillers in a rubber compound. Besides processing improvements, elongation and tensile are increased, and flex-crack and cut-growth resistance are improved. HR-100 is utilized as a thixotropic resinous tackifier, plasticizer and process aid for synthetic and natural rubbers and plastics. This resin aids in processing elastomers compounds by increasing green tack, rate of incorporation of fillers and improves knitting. In addition, HR-100 improves tear, tensile, flex cracking and cut growth properties at an economical cost especially in highly loaded compounds. Being a pure hydrocarbon resin, not an organic acid, HR-100 is very hydrophobic and has little tendency to chemical reactions. Hydrophilic thermoplastic hydrocarbon tackifing resin. Designed for use in rubber goods, especially those loaded with non-black fillers. Used as a thixotropic resinous tackifier, plasticizer and process aid for synthetic and natural rubbers and plastics. Possesses very good color, helps build tack and binds together and disperses mineral fillers in a rubber compound. Improves flex-crack and cut-growth resistance. Increases elongation and tensile.
