Unveiling the Versatility of Resins: From Tree to Industry Applications

Have you ever seen the sticky yellow viscous liquid on the trees? They are called resins and they are extremely sticky.

They are mostly extracted from trees especially some specific trees like pines and firs.

You may wonder these sticky yellowish viscous liquids are flammable and have large usages in the industry.

But it is not used as naturally as you see it in nature. It must be vapored in the factory till light components of it yield and then the other components are usable for the industry.

The products that are made from resins, all must go through different chemical procedures under controlled environments.

^{Trees produce resin in order to protect themselves. You may wonder what dangers do threaten trees the answer is flies and insects.  I myself have the experience of touching these sticky liquids. And I bet that wasn’t a sweet experience because I had to find water immediately to get rid of this viscous liquid.  Most of the resins secreted from plants are made of a chemical component called terpenes.}

^{It is used in the industry for anything you may think is related to stickiness from syrups to the adhesive.}

^Conclusion

^{In the above article, we discussed in detail asphalts, Bitumen, types of bitumen emulsion, gilsonite, resin, shale, bitumen performance, grading of bitumen, oxidized bitumen, and rubberized bitumen. We talked about the process from the beginning to the end. We also clarified how to use the material (for example, how to apply rubberized bitumen. We also discussed the usage of different bitumens in different areas, from insulation to the automobile industry.}

^{The most important industry that bitumen and other derivatives are used in is road construction. We can surely say this is the number one demand for bitumen.}

^{Thanks for being with us to the end of this article, hope it will be useful for you.}
