2. Polyester resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester_resin

   Polyester resins are synthetic resins formed by the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols. Maleic anhydride is a commonly used raw material with diacid functionality in unsaturated polyester resins. [1] Unsaturated polyester resins are used in sheet moulding compound, bulk moulding compound and the toner of laser printers.

   In many countries PET bottles are recycled to a substantial degree, [60] for example about 75% in Switzerland. [62] The term rPET is commonly used to describe the recycled material, though it is also referred to as R-PET or post-consumer PET (POSTC-PET). [63] [64] The prime uses for recycled PET are polyester fiber, strapping, and non-food ...

6. Alkyd - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyd

   An alkyd is a polyester resin modified by the addition of fatty acids and other components. [1] Alkyds are derived from polyols and organic acids including dicarboxylic acids or carboxylic acid anhydride and triglyceride oils.

7. Synthetic resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_resin

   Vinyl ester resin is an example of a synthetic resin. [1] Synthetic resins are industrially produced resins, typically viscous substances that convert into rigid polymers by the process of curing. In order to undergo curing, resins typically contain reactive end groups, [2] such as acrylates or epoxides.

Polyurethanes : insulating foams, mattresses, coatings, adhesives, car parts, print rollers, shoe soles, flooring, synthetic fibers, etc. Polyurethane polymers are formed by ...

9. Resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin

   A resin is a solid or highly viscous liquid that can be converted into a polymer. [1] Resins may be biological or synthetic in origin, but are typically harvested from plants. Resins are mixtures of organic compounds, and predominantly terpenes. Well known resins include amber, hashish, frankincense, myrrh and the animal-derived resin, shellac.
