Description

Hydrocarbon, C6-20, Polymers is a synthetic hydrocarbon polymer derived from a mixture of C6 to C20 olefins. This versatile material is valued for its excellent chemical stability, low volatility, and hydrophobic properties, making it a crucial functional component in numerous industrial formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the adhesives, sealants, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Acts as a tackifier and plasticizer, improving adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance.
• Industrial & Protective Coatings: Used as a film-forming agent and water repellent to enhance durability and corrosion protection.
• Personal Care Products: Serves as an emollient and occlusive agent in lip balms, creams, and hair care products to provide a smooth feel and moisture barrier.
• Rubber & Polymer Processing: Functions as a processing aid and softener, improving compound flow and mold release properties.
• Printing Inks: Imparts gloss, rub resistance, and water repellency to various ink systems.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Enhances viscosity index and provides tackiness in specialty lubricants.
• Electrical Insulation: Used in potting compounds and cable fillers for its dielectric properties and moisture resistance.
• Caulks and Putties: Improves workability, adhesion, and long-term stability in construction and automotive sealants.
