January 29th, 2007
Current study results from the report, "Assessing the aquatic hazard of commercial hydrocarbon resins," have been published. According to a study from the United States, "Hydrocarbon resins are used to modify polymer products to achieve desired functional properties for a diverse range of products. These complex hydrocarbon-based mixtures are typically poorly soluble in water." "However, resins may leach lower-molecular-weight monomers or impurities upon contact with water, thus posing a potential hazard to the aquatic environment. The bioavailability and toxicity of leachable constituents of four solid and three liquid resins were evaluated by analyzing...
