Dicyclopentadiene Anchors Resin Supply: A Key Feedstock for High-Performance Composites and Plastics
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) is a hydrocarbon dimer obtained as a byproduct of steam cracking petroleum feedstocks like naphtha and gas oils. Colorless and typically solid at room temperature, it has a distinctive camphor-like odor and serves as the foundational raw material for a wide array of industrial resins.

Its primary use is in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), which are essential in fiberglass-reinforced plastics—key in construction, automotive, marine, and electrical applications. DCPD is also used to generate hydrocarbon resins, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, and specialty resins valued for their chemical and heat resistance.
