Escorez 5600 petroleum resin is a water-white thermoplastic resin produced by copolymerizing C5 and C9 fractions derived from petroleum cracking by-products. It is primarily used as a tackifier in hot melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, woodworking adhesives, and similar applications. This product exhibits excellent compatibility with base polymers such as SIS, EVA, and APAO. It also demonstrates good solubility with natural tackifiers like terpenes and rosin.

Product Applications:
1. Paint Additives: A key application of C5 petroleum resin is in road marking paints. C5 petroleum resin enhances paint gloss, hardness, water resistance, and chemical resistance; it can be used in rust-proof paints, hull paints, and furniture finishes; it accelerates paint drying, improves water resistance, enhances acid-alkali resistance, and increases paint hardness.
2. Adhesives: In construction, it serves structural and decorative bonding; in automotive manufacturing, it facilitates assembly of components and tire applications. Its broader applications span wood processing, product packaging, bookbinding, sanitary products, and footwear. Petroleum resin is an essential tackifier for numerous adhesives, particularly advanced formulations like hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
3. Ink Additives: C5 petroleum resin features a high softening point and stable performance, significantly influencing ink rheology and stability. It also possesses plasticizing properties that enhance ink gloss and abrasion resistance.
4. Rubber Synthesis Additives: C5 petroleum resin modifies rubber properties by softening, reinforcing, and increasing tack, thereby extending the service life of butyl inner tubes. Internationally, it is primarily used in synthetic rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), and halogenated butyl rubber.
5. Paper sizing agent: C5 petroleum resin can serve as a paper sizing agent. In conventional papermaking, rosin is predominantly used as a sizing agent. Compared to rosin, petroleum resin improves paper smoothness, hydrophobicity, printability, and resistance to foaming. Petroleum resin exhibits superior hydrophobicity to rosin, making it a more effective substitute as a sizing agent.
IV. Product Characteristics:
Petroleum Resin 5600 features low odor, light color, and non-tacky properties. It offers excellent resistance to aging and yellowing, high stability, and good compatibility with various materials. Suitable for applications demanding high environmental standards, aesthetic appeal, and surface integrity.
V. Product Packaging:
25KG/bag
