There are many types of resin, including natural and synthetic resins, and resins with specific properties:
Epoxy resin
A versatile resin with high strength and durability, often used in adhesives, coatings, and electronics. Epoxy is also self-leveling and easy for beginners to use.
Polyurethane resin
A flexible and tough resin that resists abrasion and impact, often used in adhesives, coatings, and elastomers.
Polyester resin
A thermosetting resin with good mechanical properties and chemical resistance, often used in fiberglass composites, boatbuilding, and automotive parts.
Silicone resin
A heat-resistant resin with excellent electrical insulation properties, often used in electronics, coatings, and mold-making.
Acrylic resin
A transparent and rigid resin that is weather resistant and optically clear, often used in automotive parts, lighting fixtures, and as a coating material.
Polycarbonate resin
A thermoplastic polymer that is transparent, impact-resistant, stain-resistant, and heat-resistant.
Resins can also be classified as thermoplastic or thermosetting. Thermoplastic resins remain plastic after heat treatment, while heat-setting resins become insoluble and heat-infusible.
