Resin is a substance that is produced chemically and used to make plastics. Any natural or synthetic organic compound consisting of a noncrystalline (amorphous) solid or viscous liquid substance or mixture. Natural resins are usually transparent or translucent yellow to brown and can melt and burn. Most are exuded from trees, especially pines and firs (see conifer), when the bark is injured or stripped. The fluid secretion usually dries out and hardens into a material that can be worked. Natural resins have been used in perfumes and medicines (e.g., balsams), in paints and varnishes (e.g., turpentine and shellac, the latter derived from the secretion of an insect), and in decorative ware (e.g., amber, Oriental lacquer). Synthetic resins are all plastics; the term resin, though still used in the modern industry, dates from the years when synthetics began to replace natural resins. Thermoplastic resins are plastics such as polyethylene that can be shaped repeatedly on reheating, whereas thermosetting resins are plastics such as epoxy that set permanently and cannot be reshaped

- The material that forms a hard film on the surface after the chemicals have evaporated Acrylics and urethanes are the common resins used in water base finishes
A plant secretion, often aromatic, that is insoluble in water but soluble in ether or alcohol A classic North Country example is the serotinous cones of the Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) which are sealed tightly closed by the resin until softened by fire, at which point the cones open and the seeds are released
A group of sticky liquid substances secreted by plants that appear on the plant's external surface after a wound
Any of a class of solid or semi-solid organic products of natural or synthetic origin, generally of high molecular weight with no definite melting point Most resins are polymers (Plastics Engineering Handbook of The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc , edited by Michael L Berins, 1991)
A class of organic products either natural or synthetic in origin, generally having high molecular weight Most uncured resins used in open molding are liquids Generally resins are used to surround and hold fibers When catalyzed, the resin cures going through a polymerization process transforming the liquied resin into a solid The cured resin and reinforcement creates a composite material with mechanical properties that exceed those of the individual components
any of a class of solid or semisolid viscous substances obtained either as exudations from certain plants or prepared by polymerization of simple molecules
The "B" component in SPF that is mixed with the "A" component in order to form polyurethane Resin contains a catalyst, fire retardants, a blowing agent, Polyol, and a surface active agent
A material used as the binder in coatings that can be translucent, transparent, solid or semi-solid Examples: acrylic, alkyd, copal ester, epoxy, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone
{i} any of several viscous organic substances derived from plants (used to manufacture medications, paints, plastics, and inks); synthetic substance similar to natural resin
A natural or prepared product Natural resins are solid or semi-solid, almost odorless exudations from trees or plants formed in Nature by the oxidation of terpenes Prepared resins are Oleo-resins from which the essential oil has been removed
Resin is a sticky substance that is produced by some trees. The resin from which the oil is extracted comes from a small, tough tree
Liquid substance used in fiberglass composite construction that, when combined with a catalyst, bonds laminate materials together
Polymer with indefinite and often high molecular weight and a softening or melting range that exhibits a tendency to flow when subjected to stress As composite matrices, resins bind together reinforcement fibers
Any class of solid or semi-solid organic products of natural or synthetic origin, generally of high molecular weight, with no definite melting point Most resins are Polymers
Synthetic organic ion exchange material, such as the high capacity cation exchange resin widely used in water softeners
[n] a substance made from pine trees, seeds of the flax tree, or other plants that is used in glues, paints, varnishes, or inks
Resin is usually a yellowish brown plant secretion of vegetable origin Resins are soluble in ether, alcohol, and essential oils, but not in water Resins exude from trees in combination with essential oils, gums, etc, and are found in a liquid or semi liquid state They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are supposed to be formed by the oxidation of the essential oils When mixed with gum they form the gum resins, like asafetida and gamboges; mixed with essential oils, they form balsams, or oleoresins
Any of various solid or semisolid, amorphous, fusible, flammable, natural organic substance that are usually transparent or translucent; synthetic products used chiefly in plastics, adhesives and coatings
an organic polymer that crosslinks to form a thermosetting plastic when mixed with a curing agent
Any of many thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers or copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters of these acids, or acrylonitrile; used in paint and many plastics
Any of numerous thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers or copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters of these acids, or acrylonitrile, used to produce paints, synthetic rubbers, and lightweight plastics
Any of a wide variety of synthetic polymers containing positively or negatively charged sites that can interact with or bind to an ion of opposite charge from a surrounding solution. Light, porous solids in granules, beads, or sheets, they absorb the solution and swell as they attract the target ions; when exhausted, they are removed from use and regenerated by an inexpensive brine or carbonate solution. A solid support of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer to which are attached sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups is often used to attract and exchange cations (e.g., ions of hydrogen or metals). Quaternary ammonium groups on the solid matrix are used to attract anions (e.g., ions of chlorine). Industrially, the resins are used to soften hard water, purify sugar, and concentrate valuable elements (gold, silver, uranium) from their ores. In the laboratory they are used to separate and concentrate substances and sometimes as catalysts. Zeolites are minerals with ion-exchange properties
solid or semi-solid materials, light yellow to dark brown, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Resins occur naturally in plants, and are common in pines and firs, often appearing as globules on the bark Synthetic resins, such as polystyrene, polyesters, and acrylics, are derived primarily from petroleum Resins are widely used in the manufacture of lacquers, varnishes, plastics, adhesives, and rubber
Resins in art are used in varnishes to provide a transparent protective layer In paints and painting media they improve the gloss or clarity of the paint film and reduce the colour of the medium They are also used to increase the durability of the finish, to add body to drying oils, and to reduce drying times Certain resin may be combined with wax for encaustic painting
Gumlike solid or semisolid substances used in making such products as paints, varnishes and plastics A resin is not a plastic unless it has becomes "solid in the finished state " Resins are a by product of the petrochemical industry
