Resin Feed
Resin Feed is a mixture of (mainly unsaturated) C9 and C10 components rich in indene and vinyltoluenes. It originates from the high temperature cracking of petroleum fractions and is distilled out of pyrolysis gasoline (pygas) during the production of benzene. Since this product is a distillation bottoms product it also contains heavier components such as naphthalene.
Applications
Resin Feed is utilized best to produce hydrocarbon-based
resins such as C9 aromatic-based resins or C5/C9-based resins. These resins
typically are used in applications where the color of the resin is not a determining
factor such as printing inks, road markings or paints.
Alternatively, Resin Feed could be used as a blend component for gasoline blending, but considering this application it is important to realize that these products are richer in resin forming components than most refinery blend components. This may require blending with more saturated materials or additional stabilization.
