Kristalex 3070 hydrocarbon resin is a water clear, highly color stable, nonpolar, low molecular weight thermoplastic polymer. This resin is compatible with a wide variety of oils, waxes, alkyds, plastics, and elastomers, and is soluble in many common organic solvents. It is indicated for use in plastics modification, adhesives, coatings, sealants, and caulks. The low softening point of Kristalex™ 3070 indicates its potential utility in systems where performance at low temperatures such as frozen food packaging and exterior-use sealants. In EVA-based hot melt adhesives Kristalex™ 3070 is compatible with EVA grades with up to 30% vinyl acetate and is useful in formulating low-color adhesives with good low temperature properties. In adhesives based on styrenic block copolymers Kristalex™ 3070 is useful in reducing melt viscosity without affecting adhesion and tack properties.
