Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 9))

Abstract

Terpene Resins are low molecular weight hydrocarbon resins prepared by cationic polymerization of certain terpenes. They are used as tackifiers in pressure-sensitive tapes, masking tapes, hot melt coatings and adhesives, laminating adhesives and rubber solution adhesives. Terpene resins can be considered as solid solvents for a rubber which function by solubilizing the smaller tack-bestowing molecules from their dispersion in the mass of a rubber.
