Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin


Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is a narrow-molecular-weight-distribution, aliphatic hydrocarbon resin designed for the
adhesives industry. Its polymerisation process closely resembles that used by Eastman for the production of Piccotac 1095
Resin and the resin grades therefore show very similar physical and applicational properties.

STABILIZER
Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is stabilized with: tetrakis [methylene (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)]
methane antioxidant.


OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS
Compatible at all ratios, or in limited but practically useful proportions, with natural and synthetic rubbers, EVA (ethylene-vinyl
acetate) copolymers, SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene) block copolymers, low molecular weight polyethylene, paraffin and
microcrystalline waxes.

Soluble at all useful proportions in aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters and ethers. Insoluble in alcohols,
glycols and water.


REGULATORY STATUS
Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for
use in food packaging and food processing operations as specified in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, under the
following sections and subject to the provisions therein:

Piccotac 1095-N - 72.001-E10 page 2

175.105 Adhesives
175.300 Resinous and polymeric coatings
176.170 Components of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty foods
176.180 Components of paper and paperboard in contact with dry food
177.1210 Closures with sealing gaskets for food containers

Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is in compliance with the requirements of the Bundesinstitut fr Risiko- bewertung
(BfR) of the Federal Republic of Germany for use in food packaging and food processing operations as specified in the BfR
Recommendations, under the following chapters and subject to the provisions therein:

Chapter XXV Paraffin and microcrystalline waxes and blends of these with waxes, resins and polymers

In some European countries, Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is permitted for use as a component in several food-
contact applications. Because of the variation in legislation from country to country, detailed listings have not been included in
this datasheet. Specific information may be obtained by consulting the regulations themselves. Eastman will be pleased to
provide further information if required.

Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is in compliance with the requirements of the European Toy Safety Legislation
88/378/EEC, European Standard CEN EN 71, Part 3: migration of certain elements.

All components used for the production of Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin are listed in the European Inventory of
Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS).


PACKAGING AND SUPPLY
Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin is pastillated and packed in polyethylene bags of 20 kg net, and supplied on shrink-
wrapped pallets of 50 bags (1000 kg) each, from Eastman's facilities in The Netherlands and from warehouses located in
Europe.


STORAGE AND INVENTORY CONTROL
Flaked and pastillated forms of resins may fuse, block or lump under any of the following conditions: (1) in hot weather
climates, (2) if stored near steam pipes or other sources of heat and (3) upon prolonged storage.
Storage at temperatures above 30 C should be avoided. Inside storage in a temperature-controlled area is necessary in order
to prevent problems, such as lumping. Due to the nature of the product, claims regarding lumping cannot be accepted.

Resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or it could have an
adverse effect on the solubility of the resin in organic solvents or on its compatibility with polymers. Accordingly, it is
recommended that strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first.

Piccotac 1095-N Hydrocarbon Resin material will remain within product specification limits, as mentioned under the heading
"Product Specifications", for a period of at least twelve months after shipment from Eastman's production facilities in The
Netherlands, provided storage conditions outlined in this data sheet are observed.

However, as we can neither anticipate the conditions under which the resin is processed nor the end use applications for which
it is used, we recommend that the material be tested upon receipt.
