Abstract
Abstract Hydrocarbon resins having an increased softening point are obtained by a process featuring the sequential steps of: isomerizing the 2-methylbutene-1 component of a branched olefin modifier stream whereby its 2-methylbutene-2 content is enriched; polymerizing a feedstock consisting of the mixture of said enriched modifier stream and a piperylene rich feed stream; and, recovering said hydrocarbon resin with properties enhancing its utility for adhesive applications.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A hydrocarbon resin comprising from 40 to 50 weight percent units derived from piperylene, 15 to 20 weight percent units derived from 2-methylbutenes and the balance derived from other olefinic compounds having from 5 to 6 carbons, said 2-methylbutenes consisting essentially as the 2-methylbutene-2 isomer and the 2-methylbutene-1 isomer in a weight ratio of the former isomer to the latter isomer being greater than 10 whereby said resin has a softening point of at least 90° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A hydrocarbon resin comprising from 40 to 50 weight percent units derived from piperylene, 15 to 20 weight percent units derived from 2-methylbutenes and the balance derived from other olefinic compounds having from 5 to 6 carbons, said 2-methylbutenes consisting essentially as the 2-methylbutene-2 isomer and the 2-methylbutene-1 isomer in a weight ratio of the former isomer to the latter isomer being greater than 10 whereby said resin has a softening point of at least 90° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The hydrocarbon resin according to claim 1 wherein said isomer weight ratio of 2-methylbutene-2 to 2-methylbutene-1 ranges from 15 to 100 whereby said resin has a softening point of from 90° C. to 100° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The hydrocarbon resin according to claim 1 wherein said isomer weight ratio of 2-methylbutene-2 to 2-methylbutene-1 ranges from 18 to 30 whereby said resin has a softening point of from 90° C. to 100° C.
