TECKREZ HF-100

Teckrez HF-100 – Excellent UV, aging stability. Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are a type of hydrocarbon resin that has undergone a hydrogenation process. The result is a saturated hydrocarbon structure with improved stability, color, and odor properties.
The chemistry of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins is characterized by the addition of hydrogen to the carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecular structure of the starting material. This is typically accomplished through a catalytic hydrogenation process, in which hydrogen gas is reacted with the resin in the presence of a catalyst, such as nickel or palladium.
The hydrogenation decreases molecular weight, improves thermal stability, and reduces its reactivity towards oxidation and UV light.
