Is DCPD aromatic?

DCPD THERMAL RESINS The LX® petroleum hydrocarbon resin series is chemically inert and mixed aromatic/alicyclic in content. These products are high in unsaturation and low in molecular weight which benefits the end use/applications of printing inks, paints and coatings, rubber, adhesives and concrete cure compounds.

What happens to dicyclopentadiene at room temperature?

Above 150 °C, dicyclopentadiene undergoes a retro- Diels–Alder reaction at an appreciable rate to yield cyclopentadiene. The reaction is reversible and at room temperature cyclopentadiene dimerizes over the course of hours to re-form dicyclopentadiene.

How much dicyclopentadiene is produced from a gas cracker?

The amount of CPD /cyclopentadiene/ produced depends on the feedstock to the cracker. The yield from a naphtha cracker is 6 to 8 times of that from a gas cracker, which uses ethane and propane feed mixture. The cracked gas leaving the furnace section of a steam cracker contains many chemical components.

How is pure dicyclopentadiene produced in situ?

Pure cyclopentadiene can be produced in-situ by the thermal cracking of the dicyclopentadiene at a temperature near the normal boiling point of the dicyclopentadiene.

What are the effects of dicyclopentadiene on the eyes?

Dicyclopentadiene causes mild to severe eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation, and severe response of the eyes and skin result from 24-hour exposure.
