I-resin iyi-hydrocarbon (i-hydrocarbon) ephuma ezitshalweni, ikakhulukazi ama-conifers, ebaluleke kakhulu kwezinye izakhiwo zamakhemikhali ezikhethekile. I-resin ingahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo ezimbili ze-resin yemvelo kanye ne-synthetic resin, futhi ilensi ye-resin ilensi eyakhiwe ukuhlanganiswa kwamakhemikhali nokupholishwa nge-resin njengempahla eluhlaza. I-resin lens inezinzuzo ezisobala, isisindo sayo silula, sigqoke ngokunethezeka; Okwesibili, i-resin lens inokumelana nomthelela onamandla futhi ayintekenteke futhi iphephile; Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-resin lens nayo inokudlulisa ukukhanya okuhle; Ngaphezu kwalokho, amalensi e-resin kulula ukucutshungulwa kabusha ukuze ahlangabezane nezidingo ezikhethekile. Okokugcina, kuhlanganiswe nokuqanjwa okusha kanye nokwenza ngcono kwenqubo yokumboza, amalensi e-resin nawo anokumelana okuhle nokugqokwa, ngakho-ke asephenduke umkhakha wamalensi emakethe.
