TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Velrez C5 aliphatic resins feature a softening point range from 95°C to 105°C (depending on grade), with colour levels typically below 5.
They provide consistent tackifying performance, low color impact, and good thermal stability, with compatibility across a wide range of polymers and systems, including:
- SIS / SBS (styrene block copolymers)
- Hotmelt PSA formulations
- Rubber compounds (natural and synthetic blends)
- Road marking binders
- General purpose adhesives
These characteristics make C5 resins essential in formulations requiring reliable adhesion, low color, controlled viscosity, and consistent processing performance.
Polymer Compatibility
Velrez C5 Aliphatic Resins are compatible with:
- SIS
- SBS
- Natural and synthetic rubber blends (NR / SBR)
- Hotmelt PSA formulations
- Resin-modified binders (e.g., road marking and coatings)
- General-purpose adhesives
- C5/C9 modified resins
