Resin
a sticky flammable organic substance, insoluble in water, exuded by some trees and other plants. Plants secrete resins for their protective benefits in response to injury. The resin protects the plant from insects and pathogens. Resin is not just a fancy word for average plastic. It is a composite blend, which is rotationally molded into strong and pliable products that can mimic the look of stone and metal materials at a more affordable cost and a fraction of the weight. ypically resins are divided into thermosets and thermoplastics based on whether or not the hardening reaction can be reversed. Widely used thermoplastic resins include ABS, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polycarbonate. Most common thermoset resins are polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyurethane.
