- Epoxy resin, phenol resin, acrylic resin, unsaturated polyester resin, urethane resin, various rubbers (NR/CR/NBR, SBR, SIS, SBS, EPDM, etc.), chlorinated polyethylene, alkyd resin, etc.
Straight type
The basic structure of Straight type is a multimer composition formed by m-xylene by methylene linkage or ether linkage and a part of the edge is an OH-group (OH value: 20 to 40 mgKOH/g). Therefore, Straight type is excellent in compatibility with many synthetic resins and is used for improvement in performance of various resins.
a. Low-viscosity xylene resin
This is an environment-compatible modifier that is not a substance prohibited by VOC. This is the best suited as a modifier for various resins e.g. epoxy resin, phenol resin, unsaturated polyester resin, acrylic resin, urethane resin, and alkyd resin.

b. Environment-friendly xylene resin
Y-300 features lower TVOC and lower heating loss in comparison with Y-50 and Y-100, and can be expected to be utilized for epoxy resin, acrylic resin as a modifier that has a low environmental burden because it discharges a small amount of outgas when it heated.
