KRISTALEX™ 3105SD Hydrocarbon Resin

KRISTALEX™ 3105SD Hydrocarbon Resin by Synthomer is a water-white, highly color stable, low molecular weight hydrocarbon resin with low organic volatile content. It is made from pure aromatic monomers. It offers low odor, excellent thermal stability, excellent oxidative stability and intermediate softening point.

• It shows good compatibility with EVA (upto 30% vinyl acetate) and is suitable for hot-melt, low-odor & low-color adhesives with good low temperature properties.
• In styrenic block copolymer-based adhesives, it associates with the styrenic end blocks producing higher room-temperature cohesion without affecting tack and adhesion properties.
• KRISTALEX™ 3105SD Hydrocarbon Resin shows compatibility with styrene-butadiene rubber, SBR block copolymers, neoprene, nitrile, polybutadiene, acrylic polymers, chlorinated rubber EVA resins, styrenated alkyds, vinylated alkyds, drying oil alkyds, rosin resins and EHEC, as well as modifying the styrenic endblocks of all styrene-containing block copolymers.
• Recommended for automotive, caulk and sealant, labels, packaging tapes, tapes and other adhesive applications.
• It is suitable for food contact applications.
