C5 Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin

C5 hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are water-white tackifier resins designed for premium adhesive formulations.
They offer excellent color stability, improved oxidative resistance and strong compatibility with SIS, SBS and other adhesive polymers.
These resins are ideal for manufacturers producing hot melt adhesives (HMAs), pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and specialty coatings.

Key Properties & Benefits

C5 hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins present the following properties:

  • Low color and excellent color stability
  • Strong tackifying performance in HMA and PSA systems
  • Enhanced thermal and oxidative stability
  • Good compatibility with SIS, SBS, EVA and other tackifier resins

Applications / Industries

This resin is used in applications such as:

  • Hot melt adhesives (HMAs)
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)
  • Packaging adhesives
  • Hygiene adhesives
  • Specialty coatings
  • Sealants

(Selected for relevance to hydrogenated C5 resins.)
