Product Description: Picco™ A140 Hydrocarbon Resin is a low molecular weight, amber colored thermoplastic resin produced from petroleum-derived monomers. Picco™ A140 is characterized by its excellent resistance to acids, alkalies and moisture. It shows good color stability and, when formulated with elastomers, a good balance of flex, tear, tack and adhesion properties. This resin is particularly indicated as processing and reinforcing agent in rubber compounds and as binder in protective coatings. Picco™ A140 Hydrocarbon Resin is polymerized under conditions that control its softening point within a narrow range. Application/Uses: - Building and Construction
