**2.10. Resin**

Resin is one of the essential chemical in polymer industries. One of resins, alkyd, is widely applied in coatings and paint industries. Usually, resin is produced by using palm oil and other edible oil such as rapeseed, coconut and soybean oil. However, utilization of edible oil affects food security. Thus, non-edible oil such as jatropha oil has potential for substituting the edible oil in resin production. The jatropha seed oil-based epoxy acrylate synthesized has a potential to be used in formulations for the pre-polymer resin for UV curable coating applications [28, 29]. Further, phenolic resin derived from jatropha seed-husk lignin is used as phenol substitute.
