Resins, term applied to a group of sticky, liquid, organic substances that
usually harden, upon exposure to air, into brittle, amorphous, solid substances.
Natural resins are secreted by many plants, appearing on the external surface
of a plant after a wound. The resins form protective coatings over the plant
wounds, preventing the entrance of pathogenic micro-organisms and also excessive
loss of sap from the wound. In obtaining natural resins commercially, cuts are
made in the tree bark, and the globules of liquid resin that flow from the cut
are directed by troughs into collecting buckets. Amber is one of many fossil
resins that are often collected from ground deposits. Natural resins are yellow
to brown in colour. fibreglass repair, resin suppliers, fibreglass resin,

burn with a smoky flame and exude an aromatic odour. Chemically, they differ
from one another in detail, but they all contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
All resins are insoluble in water, as distinguished from the water-soluble gums.
Resins are also soluble in alcohol, ether, and other organic solvents. Synthetic
resins resemble natural resins (see Plastics). The natural resin known as lac
is not a plant exudate but is formed by the tiny scale insect, Laccifer lacca,
indigenous to south-eastern Asia. Lac is deposited on trees and is harvested
for the production of shellac. The many natural resins are classified according
to hardness and chemical constitution into three principal categories: hard
resins, oleoresins, and gum resins. The hard resins, among which are amber,
copals, mastic, and sandarac, are hard, brittle, odourless, and tasteless and
exhibit a glasslike fracture. Hard resins are obtained either as fossils or
as distillation products of the oleoresins. The most important of the hard resins,
and possibly the most commercially abl stevens resin and glass, casting resin

clear casting resin important of all the resins, is rosin, which is used
in sizing paper, in soapmaking, as a constituent of varnishes and paints, and
as a friction-producing coating for the bows of stringed instruments. Rosin
is obtained by distillation of the oleoresin turpentine. The oleoresins are
sticky, amorphous semi-solids that contain essential oils. Among the oleoresins
are the balsam, dragon's blood, and copaiba; turpentine is possibly the most
widely used oleoresin. The essential oil of turpentine is used as a solvent
for paints and varnishes and is employed in the manufacture of shoe polish and
sealing wax. During the era of sailing vessels, the crude oleoresin turpentine
was much used for caulking and waterproofing. Resins such as frankincense, myrrh,
benzoin, and asafoetida contain gums and are called gum resins.
