Hydrogenated Pure Monomers

Hydrogenated pure monomer hydrocarbon resins can represent the ultimate in: Low color Heat stability UV stability among hydrocarbon resins Using pure aromatic monomer resin as the starting material, the hydrogenation process used to make resins results in a product with an initial of less than 6 on the Yellowness Index scale. Depending on the level of hydrogenation, hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are compatible with a wide range of polymers. Additionally the highly hydrogenated grades of such resins are exceptionally good tackifiers for hydrogenated block copolymers such as S-EB-S, and S-EP-S as well as being exceptionally compatible with polyolefins. Such hydrocarbon resins are useful in formulating systems with high clarity and UV resistance such as: Clear sealants Window bedding compounds Exterior-grade PSA tapes and labels Such hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are available in a wide range of softening points, from liquid at room temperature to a softening point of 140°C.
