Description

Distillates, Petroleum, Steam-Cracked C5-18, Polymers is a complex hydrocarbon mixture derived from the steam cracking of petroleum fractions within the C5 to C18 carbon range. This product matters as a versatile and high-performance chemical intermediate, valued for its ability to impart specific properties like tack, adhesion, and flexibility in polymer formulations. Key industries that need it include the adhesives, sealants, rubber compounding, and specialty polymer manufacturing sectors, where it serves as a crucial modifying agent.

Application

• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Acts as a tackifier and plasticizer to enhance adhesion, cohesion, and low-temperature flexibility.
• Rubber Compounding: Used as a processing aid and extender oil to improve the workability and physical properties of synthetic and natural rubber.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a key component in modifying the rheology and performance characteristics of various thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.
• Industrial Lubricant Additive: Functions as a base or additive component in the formulation of greases and specialty lubricants.
• Asphalt & Bitumen Modification: Employed to improve the elasticity, durability, and aging resistance of paving and roofing materials.
• Printing Ink Manufacture: Utilized as a resinous component to adjust viscosity, gloss, and drying properties.

Quality Control

Our Distillates, Petroleum, Steam-Cracked C5-18, Polymers undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards. Quality is monitored through parameters such as viscosity, flash point, aromatic content, and bromine index. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is available for every shipment upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
