| Product Description |
| Picco 2215 hydrocarbon resin is a low molecular weight, dark amber colored thermoplastic resin produced from petroleum derived aromatic and cycloaliphatic monomers. Picco 2215 hydrocarbon resin is characterized by its resistance to acid, alkalies, and moisture. Picco 2215 hydrocarbon resin is suggested for use in paints, varnishes, concrete curing compounds, printing inks, and adhesives. It is particularly suitable as a modifier and processing aid in rubber compounding. |

| Compatibility and Solubility |
| Picco 2215 hydrocarbon resin is characterized by a a dark amber color; a mild aromatic hydrocarbon odor, high gloss and gloss promotion; acid, alkali, and water resistance; fast solvent release; mar and shock resistance; and low solution viscosity. It compatible at useful levels with natural, styrene-butadiene (SBR), and polychloroprene rubber; ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers with less than 20% vinyl acetate, chlorinated paraffin; rosin and modified rosins; rosin esters, polyesters, acrylics and medium and long drying oils. Picco 2215 is not compatible with all grades of these polymers at all ratios and the acceptability of a particular blend should be verified before use. Picco 2215 is soluble in most aliphatic, aromatic, and chlorinated hydrocarbons and marginally soluble in low KB mineral spirits. Picco 2215 is insoluble in alcohols, glycols, ketones, and water. |

| Packaging |
| Flake, in multi-wall kraft paper bags (50 lbs, 22.7 kg net wt) stacked 40 bags per pallet. |
|
| Storage |
| Flaked and crushed forms of resins may fuse, block, or lump during hot weath, if stored near steam pipes or other sources of heat, and if stored for prolonged periods. Because of the extremely large surface area they present, flaked and crushed forms of resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or it could have an adverse effect on solubility of the resin in organic solvents. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first. |
