Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum
Whatsapp Order
Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum are synthetic petroleum-derived resins produced through the polymerization of C5 (pentene) and C9 (nonene) fraction monomers. These resins appear as pale yellow to amber solid materials, usually in pellet or flake form, characterized by tackifying and adhesive properties. C5 resins are derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons, while C9 resins originate from aromatic hydrocarbons. Often blended, these resins provide a balance of hardness, tackiness, and compatibility with various polymers. Widely used as tackifiers, binders, and modifiers, C5 & C9 hydrocarbon resins enhance performance in adhesives, coatings, rubber compounding, and more.

Barium Nitrate
Barium Nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound, a white crystalline solid composed of barium and nitrate ions. It is highly soluble in water and serves as an oxidizing agent. Due to its energetic properties, barium nitrate is widely used in pyrotechnics to produce vibrant green colors and as an oxidizer in explosives and fireworks. It is also utilized in the manufacturing of barium oxide and other barium compounds. Barium nitrate must be handled carefully due to its toxicity and oxidizing nature.
Cobalt Octoate
Cobalt Octoate is a liquid metal drying agent solution consisting of 10% cobalt octoate dissolved in an organic solvent carrier (typically mineral spirits or similar hydrocarbon solvent). It functions as a highly efficient catalyst to accelerate the oxidative curing and drying of alkyd resins, oils, and varnishes in coatings and paints. By promoting cross-linking and polymerization of unsaturated fatty acids in drying oils upon exposure to oxygen, it significantly reduces drying time and enhances film hardness, gloss, and durability. Cobalt Octoate 10% is widely used in industrial and decorative coatings, inks, and adhesives, valued for its strong catalytic activity even at low concentrations.
