Resins Plants

National Resins factory was established in 1990 considered as one of the largest resin manufacturers in the middle east, producing over 15000 m.t yearly despite operating in competitive market, it successfully exports portion of produced resins to other countries, part of its products consumed in S.B.G such factories demand both:

Solvent base Applications Properties
Long oil (Soya - sun flower) For wood and metal ex / interior Good drying and excellent gloss
Short oil. For car, stoving enamels, nitrocellulose ext. Excellent color, very good durability
Medium oil For industrial air-drying, high gloss enamels Good hardness, superior yellowing resistant
Unsaturated polyester. Automobile repair putties, industrial polyester Quick drying, good stability and flexibility
Melamine resin. Stoving finishes Rapid curing, excellent hardness
Styrene modified alkyd resin. Hammer finishes, rapid drying metal finishes Good yellowing resistance, excellent hardness
Acrylic Resins
Hydroxy acrylic Automotive finishes, in particular for metallics Good adhesion, gloss, hardness flexibility
Thermosetting acrylic.
Thermoplastic acrylic.
Water Based Applications Properties
Pure acrylic- copolymer. For ex / interior paints Stability, flexible film, alkaline resistance, resistance yellowing
Styrene acrylic - copolymer. For ex / interior paints Stability, hard film, scrubs resistance.
High solid styrene acrylic. For ex / interior paints Good elasticity, flexible film
Vinyl acetate vinyl-versatate copolymer. For ex / interior paints Good elasticity, Stability, wash ability
Polyvinyl acetate homopolymer. For wood, Formica, textile, paper General purpose Glue


The factory works continuously 24 hr daily, 6 days weekly and it depends on shifts system and the head management always works to improve the abilities of factory team to work as professionals.

The factory produces two types of products through two types of reactors. Three reactors produces solvent base with capacity between 6 - 8 m3 in volume, provided with heating system by thermal oil. And two reactors produces water base with capacity of 5 m3 in volume, heating by hot water. Each reactor provided with automatically controlling system (p. l. c).

What is Resin
A thick sticky liquid produced chemically, used as a binder. Its essential function is film formation, the ability to pass from a low viscosity liquid film to a more or less hard plastic one.

It also has the ability to bind particles of pigment together and retain them in the film, the choice of binder play the major part in deciding the properties of the film, though these properties may be modified to a considerable extent by the use of pigment. Among the more important film properties, we should mention:
Adhesion: Adhesion to the substance being painted.
Gloss: All binders are glossy but there are some differences between some binders.
Mechanical properties; this general description covers properties as hardness, flexibility and resistance to sudden shocks.
