Hydrocarbon resins are of several kinds and distinctive properties. Resins are typical metabolite of the plant tissue or secretions and they are within the secretory cells with the plant with volatile oil. They are utilized to serve for various functions and the advantages and disadvantages of them are totally different.

In adhesives and sealants industry, C5 hydrocarbon resin is very important as a type of viscous resin. People often use hot melt adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive. C5 hydrocarbon resin has superior bonding strength and adhesive capability. Besides, the adhesive performance is more stable and moderate melting viscosity. And it is more cheaper than many other kinds of hydrocarbon resins.

C5 hydrocarbon resin has beneficial fluidity and people also can improve the wettability of the main materials. As viscous resin, it might be put to use separately and we could also mixed it with other viscous resins to enhance the properties of hot melt adhesives. C5 hydrocarbon resin is light and it emits no strange odor with low volatile home. It can be used as adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive and coating of road indicators.

C9 resins are mainly implemented as painting and anti corrosive coatings when comparing with C5 hydrocarbon resin. C9 resins can't be used as adhesives like C5 hydrocarbon resins in that the former ones do not have strong adhesive capability. In addition, it emits a lot heavier odor than that of C5 hydrocarbon resins. For this reason below most circumstances it can be not implemented as adhesives, though it can be employed as coatings, modifiers, etc.

Compared with C5 hydrocarbon resins, C9 resin is substantially more affordable even though the former ones are also not so pricey. Nonetheless, C9 resin plays a important role in our everyday life. Within the production of C9 resin, the cracking of petroleum by-products that includes cyclic olefin are utilized and olefin. It includes low acid miscibility and low melting point. It is mainly used within the industry of coatings. For example, petroleum resin emulsion is utilized to boost the synthetic latex paint. Light colored petroleum is employed in the manufacturing procedure of oil-based vanish to improve gloss and adhesion.

In many circumstances, C5 hydrocarbon resin and C9 resins are implemented together, rather they may be made use of as promoting agents, regulators, modifiers with other resins. However, they be made use of as paper gluing agent and plastics modifiers etc as a result of the unsaturated home of them.
