Abstract

Low softening point resins are prepared by a process which comprises polymerising using a Friedel Crafts catalyst: (1) a petroleum resin feed comprising C.sub.5 olefins and C.sub.5 diolefins or a mixture of C.sub.5 and C.sub.6 olefins and diolefins, said feed being obtained from the cracking of petroleum feedstock and being subjected to thermal soaking at a temperature of 100.degree. C to 150.degree. C, and (2) a branched chain reactive aliphatic olefin or an oxygenated transfer agent. Preferred additives are diisobutene or U.O.P. olefins. The polymerization may take place in the presence of a C.sub.8 to C.sub.10 unsaturated aromatic compound.
