Petroleum resin

Japanese: 石油樹脂 - せきゆじゅし(英語表記)petroleum resin
Petroleum resin

Naphtha is thermally cracked to obtain useful compounds such as ethylene, propylene, and butadiene. After removing these compounds, the remaining C4 - C5 fraction (mainly the C5 fraction) or C5 - C9 fraction (mainly the C9 fraction) is polymerized in a mixed state to obtain a resin. The properties of the resulting resin vary depending on the composition ratio of the olefin fraction in the raw material, but it is a transparent, pale yellow to yellowish brown rosin-like resin with a molecular weight of 200-2000 and a softening point of 5-160°C. It is stable to acids and alkalis and has good water resistance. It dissolves well in various organic solvents. It is inexpensive, so it is widely used as a thickening agent for printing ink, a rubber compounding agent, a tackifier for adhesive tape, hot melt adhesives, paper sizing agents, paints, and waterproofing for cloth and concrete.

Japanese:

ナフサを熱分解してエチレン、プロピレンやブタジエンなどの有用な化合物を得ているが、それらを取り去った残りのC4~C5留分(主としてC5留分)あるいはC5~C9留分(主としてC9留分)を混合状態のまま重合して得られた樹脂をいう。原料のオレフィン留分の組成比率によって生成樹脂の性質が異なるが、分子量200~2000、軟化点5~160℃の透明な淡黄色ないし黄褐色の松脂(まつやに)状樹脂である。酸・アルカリに安定でかつ耐水性も良好。いろいろな有機溶剤によく溶ける。安価なので印刷インキの肉づけ剤、ゴム配合剤、粘着テープ用粘着付与剤、ホットメル接着剤、紙サイズ剤、塗料、布やコンクリートの防水などに広く用いられている。
