Aromatic hydrocarbons are mainly used in adhesives, printing inks, sealants, polychoroprene rubber, concrete curing compounds, anti-drying agents and paints. They have a good compatibility with SBR, SIS, SEBS and SEPS and can be used as a pressure sensitive adhesive, hot-melt adhesive and synthetic rubber. They can also be applied to coatings on ships, vehicles and bridges because they will improve the lustre, increase hardness and make areas more water resistant. Within the printing industry, the petroleum resin will increase water resistance, solvent consumption and resistance to dry. They are also used for hot road markings. The end user markets for this product are the paints, coatings and rubber industries.
