HC 5090 C5 petroleum resin is a low-color aromatic modified aliphatic hydrocarbon resin. It exhibits improved compatibility with base polymers compared to typical pure C5 resin. HC 5090 is primarily used as a tackifying resin in the high-performance formulation of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) and Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA).
Hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene resins affect adhesive performance when used as tackifiers in styrene-block-copolymer-based hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives.
