Abstract
A carboxyl modified, metal-free petroleum resin comprising a resin obtained by thermal polymerization of a feed containing cyclopentadiene and/or methylcyclopentadiene and/or their dimers or codimers having been reacted electrophilically with a saturated or ethylenically unsaturated higher fatty acid, said modified resin having an acid number less than 20, containing from 1 wt. % to 5 wt. % of oxygen and having a softening point of from 120.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. These resins may be prepared by heating a resin obtained by thermal polymerization of a feed containing the aforesaid cyclopentadiene and/or methylcyclopentadiene and/or derivatives thereof with said carboxylic acid to a temperature in the range of 200.degree. C. to 270.degree. C. and subsequently removing free acid to reduce the acid number to below 20.
