Hydrogenated resins are versatile components used in various applications when specific properties like low odor, color, thermal stability, and excellent polymer compatibility are essential. Their low molecular weight, straight linear structure, and aliphatic nature impart special properties to formulations and compounds, including adhesion on special surfaces, polymer transparency, and desired viscosities.

Applications of hydrogenated resins include:

1. Food Packaging: Premium-grade products with very low VOC content comply with FDA and EU regulations, ensuring the formulation of safe and clean adhesives for direct and indirect food contact.

2. Diapers: Hydrogenated resins are suitable for all types of adhesives used in diaper production.

3. Woodworking: Hydrogenated resins offer high thermostability and excellent compatibility, providing reliable quality and desired processability for woodworking adhesives.

4. Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs): Fully hydrogenated resins are increasingly popular for formulating PSAs due to their superior hydrogenation levels and well-defined compatibility with aliphatic blocks. They perform well across a broad range of temperatures.

With growing demand for specialized hotmelt adhesives, the need for color- and odor-free resins with no negative health impact has increased to meet evolving customer and regulatory requirements. Hydrogenated resins continue to play a crucial role in developing high-performance adhesives for various industries.
