Current and new hydrocarbon resins

Abstract

The term hydrocarbon resins covers an increasingly wide range of products but this paper refers to those synthetic resins obtained by Friedel‐Crafts type polymerisation of streams derived from fossil fuels. It presents a brief picture of the types of resin which are produced, shows ICI's approach to development of a range of resins and finally, offers some thoughts on the potential uses of hydrocarbon resins in surface coatings against a background of changing raw material values.
