As an essential industrial material, petroleum resin which is also known as hydrocarbon petroleum resin, is not familiar to the common people. The petroleum resin is a byproduct of C5, C9 fraction petroleum cracking. After pre-treatment, the polymerization and distillation process, the petroleum resin is produced as a thermoplastic resin. It is not a polymer but the oligomers with the molecular weight ranging from 300-3000.

Generally, petroleum resin named after its source. It is a type of petroleum derivatives. It is endowed with low acid value, good miscibility, waterproofing ability, resistance to ethanol and chemicals. The resin could is endowed with stability and durability. For its excellent miscibility, petroleum resin is generally as promoters, regulators and modifiers. Usually, the petroleum resins are used together with other resins to perform its ability.

Petroleum resins are separated into different types, such as C5 aliphatic (aliphatic class), C9 aromatic (aromatic hydrocarbons), DCPD (cycloaliphatic dienes) and pure monomer (such as poly SM, AMS (alpha methyl styrene). The constituent molecules of the mentioned resins are all hydrocarbons and so they are also known as hydrocarbon resin (hydrocarbon resins).

In the past years, the petroleum resin industry develop rapidly. Thanks to its low price, good compatibility, low melting point, resistance to ethanol and chemicals, petroleum resin is broadly used in a variety of industries and fields, such as rubber, adhesives, coatings, paper, ink and so on. Typically, the resin plays an essential role in those industries.

Due to its stability, there is no danger for the transportation of hydrocarbon petroleum resin. In order to expand the shelf time of the resin, it should be kept in the place where is out the sun and the rain. The resin should never be transferred with pyrophorus, strong oxidizing agents or strong acids. Generally, the shelf time of the resin is one year. But if it has been tested that the resin still retain the same quality, it could be used as well.
