resins

Resins are sticky, organic substances produced by plants or synthesized artificially, used to create solid materials like plastics, adhesives, and coatings. Naturally, plant resins are secreted to protect against injury or pests, and have been used historically for varnishes and incense. Synthetic resins are manufactured to mimic these properties, offering durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility in various applications. They serve as fundamental components in products such as plastics, paints, and sealants, enabling the creation of hard, protective, and aesthetically pleasing surfaces and structures.
