The polymer industry produces and researches natural and synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers, and some adhesives. Polymer research is a sub-field of materials science that includes the fields of chemistry, physics and engineering.
A resin is a polymer with large molecular chains that is produced naturally or synthetically. Resin is one of the raw materials of coating industry and glass fiber industry, which is classified according to its structure. The main function of resin in the paint industry is as follows: forming a paint film. Industrial paints are pigmented liquids or powders that are used to protect and/or beautify layers. Industrial paints are used in aerospace, architecture and construction, automotive and electronic industries. Some industrial paints are applied with a brush or roller.
