SP-560 Resin

SP-560 Resin (Old name: AKROCHEM® P-03) by Akrochem is a thermoplastic, oil-soluble, terpene phenolic resin-based tackifier. It is mainly suitable in adhesives as either the base resin or as a modifying resin in the formulation of polychloroprene cement. It can also be used in the hot-melt or solution adhesives made from other elastomers where the combination of high tack and high heat performance is desired. SP-560 Resin in combination with polychloroprene used to formulate polychloroprene cement and display good strength and tack retention properties. In order to improve high-temperature performance, it may be blended in any proportion with heat reactive resins. The heat resistance of the adhesive formulation increases with the percentage of heat-reactive resin, but this will be gained at the expense of decreasing open time. It is compatible with a variety of drying oils, waxes and synthetic rubbers.
