In September, Teckrez participated in the Global Polymer Summit in Cleveland, Ohio — an important opportunity to engage directly with customers in the rubber industry and stay ahead of emerging trends and technologies. The event provided invaluable first-hand insights into how our products perform in real-world customer formulations and where we can deliver the most value.
Tackifier resins play a vital role in rubber compounding, with each type imparting unique performance benefits. C5 resins enhance tack, helping rubber adhere to mill rollers or self-wind without sagging. C9 resins strengthen durability, reducing crack propagation in rubber sheets. Alpha-methyl styrene resins increase toughness, improving tear resistance. These examples underscore a key point: there is no one-size-fits-all solution — every tackifier must be carefully matched to the desired properties of the end product.
Whatever performance attributes you are looking to optimize, Teckrez has a solution. Our broad portfolio of tackifier resins, combined with your formulation expertise, enables the development of superior products that meet the most demanding applications. At Teckrez, we are committed to being the partner you can count on — truly where the rubber meets the road.
