synthetic resins
Artificial binding compounds
Synthetic resins are man-made polymers produced through chemical processes, as opposed to natural resins derived from plants.
They serve as the base material for most plastics, adhesives, coatings, and fibers in modern manufacturing.
Common types include epoxy, polyester, and polyurethane resins, each with properties suited to different industrial applications.
The boat hull was built using synthetic resin reinforced with fiberglass.
