Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol)

Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol) (CAS 68610-51-5), commercially known as IONOL LC, is a phenolic resin produced by reacting p-cresol with dicyclopentadiene and isobutylene.

Where is Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol) used?

• Polymer and elastomer systems: reactive modifier and antioxidant stabilizer for controlled crosslinking and processing stability
• Rubber compounding and tire manufacturing: tackifier and crosslinking agent improving green strength and bond integrity before vulcanization
• Industrial coatings: oxidative stability and adhesion in high-performance finishes
• Adhesives and sealants: cohesive strength, thermal resistance in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive formulations
• Plastics processors use it as a stabilizing resin component where long-term thermal aging performance is critical.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging in multi-kilogram bags or drums suited to bulk industrial procurement.
