Natural Resins

Based on 1150 products - Last update on the Oct 1, 2025

Natural resins appear as solid, amber-colored, or translucent materials. Derived from renewable sources, they offer film-forming properties, enhanced hardness, and superior water resistance. This makes them suitable for wood finishes, varnishes, and protective coatings. Their natural origin makes them an attractive choice for eco-conscious formulations.

The industry is shifting towards modified natural resins with improved solvent resistance and drying properties. Available in rosin-based, shellac, and dammar variations, they comply with environmental regulations promoting bio-based raw materials in coatings.
