Resin

What Is Resin?

If you find yourself asking that what is resin? And you notice different mixture of colors on the handle of knife then you are already halfway there. 

What is resin? Put simply, resin is a thermoplastic that happens to be extremely resilient and versatile. However, before we get into the specifics let’s have a look at how resin came to be and why it was invented in the first place. Resin came to be in the late 1930s when scientists were experimenting with both naturally occurring resins like those found in the bark of trees and purely synthetic resin variants.

These resins were some of the earliest ever discovered and did not closely resemble the store-bought resin that we know today. Epoxy resin in particular skyrocketed in popularity around the early 1940s, as the formula was patented and was used in applications like dental prosthetics, industrial-grade adhesives, and even crude forms of resin casting as time went on.

During the late 1940s epoxy resin and its subsequent applications were becoming pretty well known both in the scientific community and among artists, both of which use epoxy to push the boundaries limits of their respective crafts to new heights. It was around this time that new compositions of epoxy were being developed for various other applications too.

How does resin work though? Well, generally speaking (as there is more than one type of resin) resin consists of a resin polymer that when combined with a catalyst (or hardener) undergoes a thermic reaction which causes the resin to solidify into a form of your choice by use of a mold. 

What Is Resin Made Of?

What is resin made of? Well, if your only exposure to the world of chemical engineering is through television or high school chemistry class, you can rest assured that you’ll still be able to understand this perfectly. Epoxy resin specifically, is created when acidic hydroxy groups interact with a substance called epichlorohydrin.

When these two chemicals interact with one another the resulting epoxy is known as glycidyl-based epoxy resins. There are other types of epoxy resins that can be made by adding different substances to base chemicals to form a ploy (or resin) with specific characteristics. These characteristics can then be alerted or improved for certain industries and applications.

Conventional epoxy resin, the kind that you would buy at crafting stores has some inherent qualities regardless of brand and or price. Some of these qualities include being completely food safe once they have had a chance to cure completely, being highly resistant to the effects of heat and open flames, and of course the ability to absorb impact and abrasion while insulating a surface.

How is resin made exactly though? Well, tree resin is a simple chemical reaction that takes place when a tree is injured. The plant will secrete the transparent substance which seals the orifice created by the wound. Synthetic resin on the other hand is a bit more complicated to make, well at least to us humans who can’t secrete resin. Synthetic resin is made when hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon atoms are combined with a chemical catalyst to produce the resin we use today. How is resin made, then?

 

Benefits Of Resin

  • Resin is a good choice for a handle knife since it can withstand temperature changes.
  • Resin is one option for creating a durable handle that is resilient to damage.
  • Knife handles made of Resin are also more rot-resistant.
  • Resin knife handles are highly machine-able and often do not require finishing. The material also feels good.
  • This knife handle type is aesthetically pleasing. The combination of  the colourful designs of resin are all fantastic. It adds flair to the overall knife look.

  • Dear mhscutlery.com Owner!

    Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – mhscutlery.com – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across mhscutlery.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?

  • Hello mhscutlery.com Administrator. this is Eric and I ran across mhscutlery.com a few minutes ago.

    Looks great… but now what?

    By that I mean, when someone like me finds your website – either through Search or just bouncing around – what happens next? Do you get a lot of leads from your site, or at least enough to make you happy?

    Honestly, most business websites fall a bit short when it comes to generating paying customers. Studies show that 70% of a site’s visitors disappear and are gone forever after just a moment.

    Here’s an idea…

    How about making it really EASY for every visitor who shows up to get a personal phone call you as soon as they hit your site…

    You can –

    That way, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Pretty sweet – AND effective.

  • To the mhscutlery.com Owner. I just found your site, quick question…

    My name’s Eric, I found mhscutlery.com after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.

    So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?

    Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.

    That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.

    Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?

    Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.

    But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?

    You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.

    Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re still there at your site.

  • Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website mhscutlery.com…

    I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.

    Like yours, many of them have great content.

    But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.

    I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.

    Here’s a solution for you…

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.

    CLICK HERE https://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.

    Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.

    Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.
