DCPD Resin (Dicyclopentadiene)
Product Overview
DCPD (Dicyclopentadiene) is a colorless to yellowish transparent liquid derived from ethylene by-products through separation and refining processes. It exhibits excellent solubility with ethanol, ether, and carbon tetrachloride while remaining insoluble in water.
This versatile chemical intermediate serves as a fundamental building block for various organic compounds and polymer materials, featuring a characteristic camphor-like odor.
