Application
Ink
Dicyclopentadiene resin DCPD Resin has good resistance of alkali, water, and good wetting property, good solubility in verso of high boiling point, low aromatic content. And it has good compatibility and release property with drying oil in ink; Suitable for kinds of high-grade ink.
Adhesive
With good adhesive strength, it’s a good cross-linking agent and tackifier in adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive, be used in producing various adhesive.
Coating
Mixed with variety of drying oil for coating; blending with other types of resin and add appropriate solvent and dye to get coating in different color.
Rubber
Used in producing natural and synthetic rubber additive, improve rubber processing performance; Increase products hardness, elasticity and abrasive resistance, as well as improving strength and ageing resistance of rubber.
