C5 Aliphatic Resins

C5 aliphatic resins are a type of hydrocarbon resin that is derived from the cracking of petroleum fractions such as naphtha or gas oils. These resins are typically composed of five-carbon (C5) aliphatic monomers, such as piperylene and isoprene, which are polymerized to form a solid, thermoplastic material.

C5/C9 AND C9/C5 Resins

C9/C5 aromatic/aliphatic resins, also known as hybrid resins, are a type of hydrocarbon resin that combines both aromatic and aliphatic monomers in their production. The aromatic monomers typically used are derived from the distillation of coal tar or petroleum, such as styrene, vinyltoluene, and indene. The aliphatic monomers are usually C5 fractions obtained from the cracking of petroleum.

The chemistry of C9/C5 aromatic/aliphatic resins is characterized by the combination of properties from both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. The presence of aromatic monomers gives the resin improved heat resistance, UV resistance, and color stability, while the aliphatic monomers contribute to flexibility, low odor, and improved tackiness.

C9 Aromatic Resins

C9 aromatic resins are a type of hydrocarbon resin that are derived from the distillation of coal tar or petroleum. They are composed of aromatic monomers, such as styrene, vinyltoluene, and indene, which are polymerized to form a solid, thermoplastic material.

The chemistry of C9 aromatic resins is characterized by their high degree of unsaturation and molecular weight, which gives them their unique properties. Specifically, C9 aromatic resins have a high content of double bonds and a molecular weight range of around 500-2000 g/mol.
