Physical properties comparison

Product Group	Brand Name	Benefits	Compare
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	Eastotac™	Suggested for applications where excellent color stability and low odor are critical
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	Regalite™	Used to achieve an optimal balance of mid-block and end-block compatibility in styrenic block copolymer formulations
Hydrogenated Pure Monomer Resin	Regalrez™	Useful in formulating systems with high clarity and UV resistance such as clear sealants, window bedding compounds, and exterior-grade PSA tapes and labels
Pure Monomer Resin	Kristalex™	Made from pure monomers so they are water-white in color and extremely stable against thermal and oxidative degradation
	Piccolastic™	Used in hot melt adhesives, especially in polychloroprene-based solvent adhesives for light-colored leather and plastics
	Piccotex™	Suitable for adhesive applications where color and stability are critical when a highly colored aromatic tackifier will not suffice
Rosin Resin	Cellolyn™	Recommended when a high degree of tack without excessive decrease in bond strength is desired
	Foralyn™	Impart superior adhesion and excellent cohesion to adhesives based on styrenic block copolymers and acrylic polymers, especially at higher temperatures
	Permalyn™	Excellent choice when gloss is important in hot melt applications
