Description

Alkenes, Ethylene-Manuf.-By-Product Dicyclopentadiene-Conc., Polymers With Ethylene-Manuf.-By-Product C5-Cut Alkene Oligomers And Tall Oil, Maleated is a specialized hydrocarbon resin derived from the maleation of oligomers and polymers sourced from ethylene manufacturing by-products. This product matters for its ability to enhance the compatibility, adhesion, and rheological properties of various formulations, serving as a versatile performance modifier. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the adhesives, sealants, coatings, and rubber compounding industries seeking to improve product performance with cost-effective, tailored additives.

Application

• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Acts as a tackifier and compatibility enhancer in hot-melt, pressure-sensitive, and structural adhesives.
• Industrial & Protective Coatings: Used to improve pigment wetting, adhesion to substrates, and film flexibility.
• Rubber Compounding: Functions as a processing aid and reinforcing agent in tire and non-tire rubber goods.
• Printing Inks: Modifies rheology and enhances gloss and adhesion in various ink systems.
• Asphalt Modification: Employed to improve the durability, elasticity, and aging resistance of asphalt pavements and roofing materials.
• Polymer Modification: Used as a compatibilizer and impact modifier in blends of polyolefins and other polymers.

Quality Control

Our maleated hydrocarbon resins undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for industrial applications. Quality parameters such as acid value, softening point, color, and viscosity are strictly monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) after opening to prevent degradation and maintain optimal performance. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
