Unilene ® BS 140 LN C9 thermoplasc hydrocarbon resin is obtained by catalyc polymerizaon of hydrocarbons in a continuous process. Compable with most solventsand polymeric materials, it has hydrophobic characteriscs and comes in light yellow pellets. Unilene ® BS 140 LN has a controlled naphthalene content, which allows for a less evident odor when compared to regular C9 hydrocarbon resins.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Information

The resins are supplied in 25 ± 0.2 kg polyethylene bags and are supplied in pellet format. Hydrocarbon resins have thermoplasc characteriscs, they can agglomerate when submitted to high temperatures and/or under pressure (stacking). It is recommended to store the product in fresh place, free from direct sunlight, moisture and without stacking the pallets, also avoiding direct contact with the soil.
