Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) based hydrocarbon resins are widely used as tackifiers in many applications.

In particular, hydrogenated DCPD-based hydrocarbon resins are frequently used in premium hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) and hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives (HMPSAs) because of their water white color and excellent stability to light and heat.

Hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene resins affect adhesive performance when used as tackifiers in styrene-block-copolymer-based hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives, sealants; and for a variety of rubber system as a thickening aid, plastic modification additives, like OPP thin additives, polypropylene,ink additives, waterproofing agent.

Applied in non-woven products and hot melt adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive and sealants. Applied in non-woven fabrics field, as production caking agents in the materials like disposable diapers and sanitary napkins.
