C9 Hydrocarbon Resin

Aromatic resin that adds hardness, adhesion and gloss to paints, inks, rubber and adhesives.

C9 hydrocarbon resin is an aromatic petroleum resin used as a performance modifier. It adds hardness, adhesion, gloss and water resistance to coatings and inks, acts as a tackifier and processing aid in rubber and tyres, and provides cohesive strength in adhesives.

In Pakistan, C9 hydrocarbon resin is commonly known by other names — petro resin, petrosin resin, petroleum resin or simply hydrocarbon resin — and Aleemsons supplies all of these as the same product family.

Aleemsons supplies C9 hydrocarbon resin in a range of softening points for the paint, ink, rubber and adhesive industries, with technical guidance on grade selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between C9 and C5 hydrocarbon resin?

C9 is aromatic — harder, higher softening point, ideal for paints, inks and rubber. C5 is aliphatic — softer with better tack, favoured for adhesives. See our C5 hydrocarbon resin page for that grade.

Which softening point do I need?

It depends on your application and processing temperature. Our technical team can help you select the right softening point for your formulation.

Do you supply light-coloured C9 grades?

Yes — for applications where colour matters we can supply lighter C9 grades, and hydrogenated resins for water-white requirements.
