Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of c9 hydrocarbon resin+
The aromatic structure makes C9 resin harder and more polar than an aliphatic C5 resin, and it is that character that raises tack and stiffness in rubber compounds, improves pigment wetting and gloss in inks, and adds hardness and water resistance in coatings.
Selecting the right grade+
Softening point, colour and aromatic content define the grade, and colour is often the limiting factor because C9 resins are naturally darker than aliphatic grades. Compound colour tolerance, processing temperature and the polymer being modified determine what is quoted.
Documentation and specification+
Properties differ between producers and between grades of the same material. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
Why is C9 resin darker than C5 resin?+
Colour comes from the aromatic feedstock and the polymerisation route. Where colour matters, formulators move to hydrogenated grades, which are lighter and more stable but priced accordingly.
Which grade will I be quoted?+
The grade is set by your specification. Share the target performance, process conditions and any customer or regulatory requirement in the RFQ and the matching grade is confirmed with the supplier before quotation.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
