Resins are highly viscous, sticky substances that can be derived naturally from plant-based sources like gum, sap or amber, or they can be produced synthetically. They are commonly used in the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, varnishes, food glazes and plastics. Or they can be used in applications involving thermosetting compounds, silicone blends and epoxy systems.

Examples of naturally occurring polymers are cellulose, proteins, silk and DNA. Synthetic polymers are obtained from petroleum bases and include rayon, nylon, polyester, Teflon and Polyethylene. 

Typical Viscosity: 500 - 25000cst SG: 0.91 - 0.94Polyethylene and Polyurethane are types of Petroleum based plastics. Polyethylene is available in various grades depending on its intended use from plastic bags, foams to pipes. The grades in which it is available are known as Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).Polyurethane is used to manufacture foams used in soft furnishings from sofas, beds and mattresses, sponges, acoustic ...

Oils serve multiple purposes, acting as lubricants, fuels, and heat transfer mediums. Their high boiling points and capacity to retain heat make them ideal for such applications.
