Teckrez® CX-918 is a high softening point hydrocarbon resin derived from selected C9 and other feedstocks, offering excellent solubility. It enhances hardness, gloss, chemical resistance, and reduces dry time as an alkyd coating modifier. In printing inks, it improves pigment wetting and solvent release. Additionally, it serves as a rubber processing aid, a tackifier or reinforcing resin in mastic adhesives, and a modifier in concrete curing and other coating applications.
