Resin (Adhesives and Sealants)

A class of solid or semi-solid organic products of natural and synthetic origin, generally of high molecular weights with no definite melting point. Resins are generally water-insoluble and have little or no tendency to crystallize. However, certain resins, such as some polyvinyl alcohols and polyacrylates, are readily dispersible in water. Others, such as polyamides and polyvinylidene chloride, are readily crystallized.

Resin (Auto Body)

A clear or semi clear part of a paint film which gives solids or film build. Resin gives the finish shine, gloss, durability, adhesion, handling and drying characteristics.

Resin (Beauty)

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.

Resin (Boiler)

A bead-like material used in chemical exchange for softeners and dealkalizers.

Resin (Costume Jewelry)

A family of synthetic or organic products that have dense weight and no definite melting point, most commonly used for molding costume jewelry and figurines. Seasonal jewelry makes a high use of resins in pins and earrings. In recent years, resins have been interspersed in Mardi Gras beads to add themes.

Resin (Energy)

A solid or semi-solid mixture of organic substances of complex composition having no definite melting point, as in plastic resins made from hydrocarbon feedstocks.

Resin (Health and Beauty)

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.

Resin (Hippy)

The clear sticky liquid marijuana produces to capture pollen containing THC. Heating this resin causes it to vaporize the THC, and when inhaled it gets you high. Resin is separated from marijuana to make hashish. Resin is also the term for the dark, coating formed inside pipes used for smoking marijuana and hashish.

Resin (Microbiology)

Plant product composed largely of esters and ethers of organic acids and acid anhydrides.

Resin (Natural Gas)

A solid, semisolid, or pseudosolid organic material, often of high molecular weight, which exhibits a tendency to flow when subjected to stress, usually has a softening or melting range, and usually fractures conchoidally.

Resin (Paint)

A natural or synthetic material utilized as the binder for a paint or caulk. Term used generally for oil-based or latex binders, as "alkyd resin" or "acrylic resin."

Resin (Plastics)

A pseudosolid or solid organic material often of high molecular weight. It has a tendency to flow when subjected to stress, usually has a softening or melting range, and usually fractured conchoidally.

Resin (Shoes)

1. An indefinite term broadly used to include synthetic plastic materials produced by polymerisation. Naturally occurring polymers such as shellac and rosin, and chemically modified polymers such as those derived from cellulose are not classed as resins. The term is in common use to denote resin rubber soling material.
2. Rubber - a synthetic rubber soling material with some superficial resemblance to leather in appearance, finish and feel underfoot. It is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene, designated in brief, SBR.

Resin (Surf)

A liquid plastic that is catalyzed (set hard) when mixed with MEKP; used in surfboard manufacturing to seal the shaped blank and repair dings.

Resin (Textiles)

See prepreg, composite; also used as another word for polymer.

Resin (Wood)

An ingredient of coatings which acts as a binder and gives the coating physical properties such as hardness and durability.
