Resin is a natural element found in various plants in coniferous trees. In polymer chemistry resin is a thick and sticky material which can be converted into polymers. Such thick and sticky substances can be plant-derived or synthetic by nature. More frequently reasons are combination of organic compounds. Plants generally produce resins in order to save themselves from injury. The use of barrier resin also increased in pharmaceutical industries across the globe in order to protect medicines and other pharmaceutical products and increase their shelf life. It is a form of plastic which is used for packaging to prevent gas, vapor, or liquid penetration in the package. Because of these factors the barrier resins find its applications in agricultural industries, chemical industries, food and beverage industries, personal care and cosmetics, and pharmaceutical and medical industries. However, factors such as rising costs, regulatory standards, and political & environmental norms are likely to act as market restraints.
