Everything about Synthetic resins And Areas of use! Synthetic resins were invented in the first half of the last century. This event can be considered revolutionary, since this product replaced natural resins and found the widest application in various sectors of construction, mechanical engineering, as well as in the production of varnishes and paints, synthetic materials and even medicine. Synthetic resins are classified into:
thermoactive thermoplastic
Thermoactive synthetic resins have plasticity and fusibility only within certain temperature limits, above which they become insoluble and infusible. Thermoplastic synthetic resins maintain permanent ductility and fusibility. Depending on the method of making the resin, its purpose and raw materials, they come in the form of powders, blocks, emulsions, granules and sheets. A LITTLE BIT OF THEORY Synthetic resins are high molecular weight compounds that are obtained as a result of polycondensation or polymerization reactions. Polymerization is the process of combining a certain amount of elementary monomers into a complex molecule without by-products. Polycondensation is the process of converting simple molecules into a complex molecule of organic matter through the formation of carbon bonds with other atoms.
