Resins

Resins are versatile materials that are used in many areas. They consist of long-chain molecules that have a high molecular mass and a viscous to solid consistency.

In the plastics industry, resins are often used as binders to produce plastics that have specific properties such as hardness, flexibility or color. In addition, resins are also used in coatings, where they serve as a protective layer on various surfaces such as metal or wood.

In wood processing, resins are used as a binder for chipboard or as an impregnation agent to make the wood more resistant to moisture and pests.

Resins are also important in the chemical industry as they serve as starting materials for many other chemical compounds. Some natural resins, such as amber or dammar resin, are also used in art or as fragrances.
