Dicyclopentadiene

Our Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) is a high-purity, versatile hydrocarbon monomer and intermediate derived from the steam cracking of naphtha. It is a dimer of cyclopentadiene, characterized by its unique bridged molecular structure and reactive double bonds. At room temperature, it is a white crystalline solid with a distinctive camphor-like odor. It is typically handled and transported in its molten liquid state (requires heating above 33.6°C [92.5°F]) for efficiency.
