RO80
Resin Oil 80 (RO80) is a mixture of (mainly unsaturated) C9 and C12 components rich in dicyclopentadiene, 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.
Applications
RO80 is used 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, paints or (colored) adhesives.
