Petroleum resin is a c5/c9 aromatic hydrocarbon used in industrial applications. It has a tackifying effect and is suitable for use in rubber, paint, printing ink, adhesives and other 
areas where tackiness is required

petroleum resin with melting point in the range of 90°-110° celcius is used as a tackifier for various synthetic rubbers including sbr and natural rubbers, and provides excellent effects in improving processibility and performances of these rubbers.

petroleum resins with a slightly higher melting point finds an extensive range of applications as a modifier for paints and printing inks, and as a tackifier for adhesives they are specially used in rust preventive paints significantly improving various coating film characteristics including resistance against chemicals and water.
