Bitumen Primer
Bitumen Primer is a high-performance, solvent-based or water-based coating designed to prepare and seal surfaces before the application of bituminous waterproofing or roofing systems. It enhances adhesion by binding dust, reducing surface porosity, and creating a tacky base layer for membranes, felts, and asphalt-based applications. Bitumen Primer is quick-drying, highly penetrative, and applicable to a wide variety of substrates including concrete, masonry, metal, and wood. It plays a critical role in extending the durability and effectiveness of waterproofing systems in construction and industrial environments.
Hydrocarbon Resins
Hydrocarbon Resins C5 And C9 Petroleum Resins 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.
