C5 Hydrocarbon Resin

Trusted C5 Hydrocarbon Resin Supplier for Your Industry

C5 resin is a type of hydrocarbon resin, which is an aliphatic petroleum resin. Hydrocarbon resin, also known as petroleum resin, is a thermoplastic resin produced by pre-treatment, polymerization, distillation and other processes of C5 and C9 fractions produced as by-products of petroleum cracking. It is not a polymer, but an oligomer with a molecular weight between 300-3000. Petroleum resin is named because it is derived from petroleum derivatives. It has low acid value, good miscibility, water resistance, ethanol resistance and chemical resistance, chemical stability to acids and alkalis, and has the characteristics of good viscosity adjustment and thermal stability. Hydrocarbon resin is generally not used alone, but used as a promoter, regulator, modifier together with other resins.

Top Applications for C5 Hydrocarbon Resin

Adhesive. C5 hydrocarbon resin is used as a tackifier in adhesives and is widely used in the structure and decoration of the construction industry, automobile assembly, wood processing, commodity packaging, book binding, sanitary products, shoemaking and other fields. It can significantly improve the bonding strength and heat resistance of the adhesive.   

Paint. In paints, C5 petroleum resin can speed up the drying speed of the paint film and improve the water resistance, acid and alkali resistance and surface hardness of the paint film. It can also increase the gloss and adhesion of paint, making the paint surface smoother and more durable.

Rubber. In the rubber industry, C5 resin serves as a tackifier and softener, which can improve the processing performance and physical properties of rubber. It is often used in synthetic rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber to improve the strength and aging resistance of the rubber.        

Tire. In tire manufacturing, C5 hydrocarbon resin can increase the strength and aging resistance of tires, improve their processing performance and physical properties.

asphalt. As an additive to asphalt materials, C5 petroleum resin is used in house construction, sealing and flood control construction, and is especially suitable for the paving of colored pavements.

‌Anti-rust oil‌. Among anti-rust oils, C5 petroleum resin has good chemical stability and heat resistance, and can improve the anti-rust and anti-corrosion effects.

‌Road sign paint‌. As an auxiliary material for road marking paint, C5 petroleum resin can enhance the toughness, hardness and adhesion of the paint, form a smooth paint surface, and have heat-resistant stability and weather resistance.

‌Waterproof membranes and waterproof coatings‌. Among waterproof materials, C5 petroleum resin can improve the water resistance and chemical resistance of the material, and enhance the stability and durability of the material.

‌Rubber and plastic shoe materials‌. In rubber and plastic shoe materials, C5 petroleum resin can improve the processing performance and physical properties of the material, and improve the quality and durability of the product.

‌Packaging Glues and Sealants‌. In packaging glues and sealants, C5 petroleum resin can improve the bonding strength and heat resistance of materials to ensure reliable packaging and sealing.

What Are Difference between C5 and C9 Hydrocarbon Resin

Chemical structure and physical properties

‌C5 hydrocarbon resin‌. It is mainly composed of hydrocarbon compounds containing 5 carbon atoms, such as isoprene and isoprene, and is a non-aromatic compound. It has a small molecular weight, a relatively simple structure, a low degree of unsaturation, a light color, a small odor, a low softening point, and good water resistance and chemical resistance. It has strong adhesion and good melt fluidity. ‌

‌C9 hydrocarbon resin‌. It is polymerized from aromatic hydrocarbons or olefins containing 9 carbon atoms, contains more benzene ring structures, has a complex structure, a high degree of unsaturation, a darker color, a larger odor, and a higher softening point and melting point. It has good heat resistance, and has excellent hardness and anti-aging properties.

Application areas

‌C5 petroleum resin‌. It is often used to manufacture products with high requirements for odorless or low odor, such as hot melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, printing inks, road marking paints, etc. It is particularly suitable for occasions with high requirements for environmental protection and safety.

‌C9 petroleum resin‌. It is mainly used in paints, anti-corrosion coatings, shoe adhesives, road marking paints, etc. It is also used to improve the performance of asphalt and as a modifier for plastics and rubber.

Performance Differences

‌C5 Resin‌. It has a lower melting point and softening point, light color, low odor, good water resistance and chemical resistance, strong adhesion, excellent solubility and compatibility. It has advantages in products that require low odor and high transparency.

‌C9 Resin‌. Due to its more benzene ring structure, it generally has a higher softening point, melting point and color, and a relatively strong odor, but better heat resistance, hardness and anti-aging properties. It is mainly used in paints, anti-corrosion coatings, rubber product modifiers, and certain types of hot melt adhesives and ink products.
