C9 hydrocarbon tackifiers are used in adhesives, particularly hot melt adhesives, to provide outstanding tack and to optimise surface adhesion.  C9 hydrocarbon tackifiers are also used in the production of rubber articles, including tyre re-treads, to ensure optimal adhesion between the different layer of rubber.  C9 hydrocarbon tackifiers are also used in road marking paints to ensure outstanding performance and to ensure excellent durability in use.  These resins are used in some industrial and marine coatings to enhance durability.  We have aliphatic (hydrogenated) grades and aromatic (non-hydrogenated) grades available.
