A resin is a solid or highly viscous liquid that can be converted into a polymer. [1] Resins may be biological or synthetic in origin, but are typically harvested from plants. Resins are mixtures of organic compounds, and predominantly terpenes. Well known resins include amber, hashish, frankincense, myrrh and the animal-derived resin, shellac.
Mastic tears. Mastic (Greek: Μαστίχα) is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). [1] It is also known as tears of Chios, [2] being traditionally produced on the island Chios, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets.

Mastic (plant resin) Mastic asphalt, or asphalt, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid; Mastic cold porcelain, or salt ceramic, is a traditional salt-based modeling clay. Mastic, high-grade construction adhesive commonly used to bond ceiling, wall, and floor tiles, plywood panels, concrete, asphalt, leather and fabric.
Rosin (/ ˈ r ɒ z ɪ n /), also known as colophony or Greek pitch (Latin: pix graeca), is a resinous material obtained from pine trees and other plants, mostly conifers. The primary components of rosin are diterpenoids, i.e., C 20 carboxylic acids. Rosin consists mainly of resin acids, especially abietic acid. [1]
Balsam is a solution of plant-specific resins in plant-specific solvents (essential oils).Such resins can include resin acids, esters, or alcohols.The exudate is a mobile to highly viscous liquid often containing crystallized resin particles.
The resin is greyish-white when fresh, but dries to a dark amber colour. The asafoetida resin is difficult to grate and is traditionally crushed between stones or with a hammer. Today, the most commonly available form is compounded asafoetida, a fine powder containing 30% asafoetida resin, along with rice flour or maida (white wheat flour ) and ...
When foraging, worker bees primarily harvest pollen and nectar, while also collecting water and plant resin necessary for the production of propolis. [1] The chemical composition and nature of propolis depend on environmental conditions and harvested resources.
