Resin oil is used to produce hydrocarbon resins. Major applications of these resins are in printing inks, hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives, rubbers, paints, varnishes and road marking paints. Furthermore, the resins can be used in concrete curing additives, sealings, floor-tiles, foundry core binding and for paper sizing.
