Resin materials include plastic, polyester, polycarbonate, casting, polymer, acrylic, chemical, and dry resin. Plastic resins are made from synthetic materials and are used to make products such as soda containers, milk jugs, and pill bottles. Acrylic resins are used for aquariums, cell phone displays, car taillights, and bathtub liners. Resin casting is used for making toys, small figurines, and jewelry. Dry resin is used as glue or epoxy for wood veneer.
The different types of resin material are plastic resin, polyester resin, polycarbonate resin, casting resin, polymer resin, acrylic resin, chemical resin and dry resin. Resin is a substance used in lacquers, adhesives, plastics and epoxies and is known for its translucent properties. The resin is initially in liquid form but hardens to produce a solid coating.
Plastic resin material is a broad category of resins and includes many types. Plastic resins are made using synthetic materials and are produced when large hydrocarbon molecules are heated until they break into smaller particles. The process, known as “cracking,” is repeated until the hydrocarbons are separated into different materials, such as ethylene and propylene, which can then be used to form all kinds of products.
Some examples of the products made with plastic resin include soda containers, milk jugs, and pill bottles. Each of these products is made with polyethylene resin material, which is a type of plastic resin. Other types of plastic resin include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene and polystyrene. PVC is most often used in the plumbing industry for light and rigid pipes and also in the cosmetic industry due to its water resistance characteristics. Polystyrene is extremely lightweight and able to withstand higher temperatures, making it a good option for insulating tumblers and smoke detector housings.
Acrylic resin is also a type of plastic resin, but the process for making it is different. Acrylic resins form when a chemical reaction between monomers, which are small molecules, produces a polymer. The resulting polymer is strong and transparent, which allows acrylic resins to be used for the production of aquariums, cell phone displays, car taillights, and bathtub liners.
The liquid resin material is used in a process called resin casting. Resin casting works by pouring hot liquid resin into a rubber mold and allowing it to harden. The mold is then peeled off to expose the hardened resin form. Due to the labor intensive nature of resin casting, it is typically not used for large scale production, but instead by home enthusiasts or small businesses. The most common use of resin casting is for making toys, small figurines, and jewelry.
Dry resin material is a type of resin that has had its moisture removed so it can be stored until needed. When the resin is needed, it is heated so that it reverts back to a semi-liquid state. The most common use of dry resin material is as glue or epoxy. The dried resin is mixed with water to form a glue or paste which is then applied to items such as wood veneer. When the resin glue dries, the resin adheres to the veneer and keeps the wood strips firmly attached.
