Hydrogenated Resin material you're describing is a water-clear thermoplastic resin that is produced from dicyclopentadiene as its primary raw material. This resin is created through a series of processes, including polymerization, desolvation, hydrogenation through stripping, and finally, granulation. It is valued for its remarkable thermal stability and its compatibility with elastomers such as Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS), and other similar materials.

DCPD Hydrogenated Resin is commonly employed as a tackifier in the formulation of hot melt adhesives (HMA) and hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives (HMPSA). Tackifiers enhance the adhesive properties of these materials, making them more effective in bonding various substrates. This particular resin is preferred due to its ability to improve adhesion and overall performance in hot melt adhesive applications.
