Synthetic resins are industrially produced polymers that cure from a viscous substance into a rigid polymer. They are typically manufactured through a chemical polymerization process using plants. Common examples include epoxy resins, which are twice as strong as concrete and used in adhesives and composites. Synthetic resins have a variety of applications and are used in products like adhesives, finishes, particle board and molded objects. However, manufacturing synthetic resins also carries certain risks due to the use of hazardous chemicals in the process.

Resins
SYNTHETIC RESINS ARE INDUSTRIALLY
PRODUCED RESINS, TYPICALLY VISCOUS
SUBSTANCES THAT CONVERT INTO RIGID
POLYMERS BY THE PROCESS OF CURING.
IN ORDER TO UNDERGO CURING, RESINS
TYPICALLY CONTAIN REACTIVE END
GROUPS, SUCH AS ACRYLATES OR
EPOXIDES
3. Manufacturing Process
Plants
Synthetic resin is typically manufactured using a chemical
polymerization process. ... The classic variety is epoxy resin,
manufactured through polymerization, used as a thermoset
polymer for adhesives and composites. Epoxy resin is two
times stronger than concrete, seamless and waterproof.
4. Synthetic Resins
These synthetic resins are used in adhesives, finishes, particle board, MDF, and
moulded objects.etc
Risk Assessment
Synthetic resins manufacturing industries are
generally associated with use of raw materials
and chemicals which are hazardous in nature.
The process activities of these industries are
also associated with certain risks. Prevention
of human and property losses is integral to the
operation and management of chemical
process plants.
