Dicyclopentadiene Usage
-
Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR): Enhances heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface hardness of FRP products and marine coatings.
-
Hydrocarbon Resins: Key raw material for C9/DCPD petroleum resins, widely used in hot-melt adhesives, tackifiers, and printing inks.
-
EPDM Rubber Elastomers: Acts as a reactive third monomer (ENB/DCPD type) to improve vulcanization speed and durability.
-
Fine Chemical Intermediates : Used to synthesize pesticides, fragrances, and flame retardants.
