Dicyclopentadiene, abbreviated as DCPD, is a compound with the chemical formula C10H12. At room temperature it is a white, brittle wax, but less pure samples may be a straw colored liquid. The pure material smelled a bit like bean wax or camphor, and the less pure sample had a stronger acrid smell.

In addition to the fast cycle times mentioned above, DCPD has many advantages over traditional materials such as fiberglass, wood, steel or thermoplastic polymers.DCPD reaction injection molding can produce parts of unprecedented dimensions compared to standard injection molding. Produce parts with
