Plastolyn™ R1140 Hydrocarbon Resin is an amorphous, low-molecular-weight hydrocarbon resin derived from aromatic petrochemical feedstocks. The resin is fully hydrogenated to a saturated cyclo-aliphatic structure that is highly compatible with polyolefin polymers. This resin is suggested for use as a modifier of polyolefin polymers.

Extremely light colour, very good resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, and excellent compatibility with polyolefin polymers. Compatible at all ratios, or in limited but practically useful proportions, with polyethylene and polypropylene polymers, EVA resins (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers), APAO (amorphous poly-alphaolefins), SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene) block copolymers, mPE (metallocene catalysed polyethylene) polymers, PIB (polyisobutene) and TPE (thermo plastic elastomers).
