Synthetic resin istypically manufactured using a chemical polymerization process. This processthen results in the creation of polymers that are more stable and homogeneousthan naturally occurring resin. Since they are more stable and are cheaper,various forms of synthetic resin are used in a variety of products such asplastics, paints, varnishes, and textiles. There are various kinds of syntheticresins; silicones resins, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gum arabic, epoxy resins, guargum, carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc. Resins are polymeric compoundwhich are available in nature and are also manufactured by synthetic routes.Some resins are also manufactured by partial modification of natural precursorpolymer by chemical.
Silicones are unique among the commerciallyimportant polymers both in chemistry and in variety of industrial applications.Silicones can be applied as high temperature insulating varnishes, impregnatesto be used with glass, asbestos, mica products and encapsulating agents for electricalcomponents. Water borne dispersions or emulsions, for example emulsions ofvinyl or acrylic copolymers are popular in decorative coatings. Theapplications of synthetic resins are seen in some important industries likepaint industry, adhesive industry, the textile industry, paper, paint,agricultural industry, petroleum industry etc. As it can be seen that there isan enormous scope of application of resins hence it is one of the major fieldto venture.
