allyl resin
Noun: 1. A synthetic thermosetting polymer: An allyl resin is a type of plastic material made from chemical compounds derived from allyl alcohol. It is characterized by its ability to undergo an irreversible chemical change when heated or cured, transforming from a liquid or moldable state into a hard, infusible solid.
Allyl resins are primarily used in industrial and manufacturing applications due to their properties upon curing. * The mold was made using a durable allyl resin that could withstand high temperatures. * As an adhesive, allyl resin provides a very strong and heat-resistant bond.
- Technical Context: In chemistry and materials science, the term specifies the resin's monomeric origin (allyl compounds) and its thermosetting nature, distinguishing it from thermoplastic resins.
- The formulation's excellent dielectric properties are attributed to the cross-linked structure of the allyl resin.
- Diallyl phthalate (DAP) resin: A common and specific type of allyl resin.
- Thermosetting polymer/resin: The broader category to which allyl resins belong.
- Unsaturated polyester resin: A different but sometimes compared class of thermosetting resins.
- Thermosetting adhesive
- Synthetic resin (specific type)
The definition is highly specific to materials engineering and industrial chemistry. It does not have common figurative or everyday meanings. Its core meaning is defined by its chemical origin (allyl) and its behavioral property (thermosetting resin).
-
a resin derived from allyl alcohol that hardens when cured; used as an adhesive
