what is resin laminating
Monomer. Two roles of the monomer in laminating resin: 1  To change from a liquid to a rigid solid, a monomer must be chemically reactive, thus cross linking with the polymer. 2  A monomer is used to reduce the viscosity of the polymer to a level that is easy to work with during the laminating application.f a laminating resin is thixotropic, it means that it has a viscosity that is dependent on shear rate. It is important that laminating resins are formulated in this way because a low viscosity is needed during high shear processes such as: 1  Pumping. 2  Spraying. 3  Wetout.
