Synthetic resins are materials with similar properties to natural resinsviscous liquids capable of hardening. They are typically manufactured by esterification or soaping of organic compounds. The classic variety is epoxy resin, manufactured through polymerization-polyaddition or polycondensation reactions, used as a thermoset polymer for adhesives and composites.
A synthetic resin that may be softened by heat and hardened by cooling.
Vinyl Ester, or Vinylester, is a resin produced by the esterification of an epoxy resin with an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. The reaction product is then dissolved in a reactive solvent, such as styrene, to a 35 - 45 percent content by weight.
Any one of a class of thermoplastic materials, ESP PVC and polyvinyl acetate, made by polymerizing vinyl compounds
