Resin for plastics (5)

I believe the answer is:

epoxy

(Other definitions for epoxy that I've seen before include "Synthetic adhesive, paint etc." , "Hard-setting resin" , "Synthetic resin used as glue" , "Synthetic polymer used in adhesives, paints, etc" , "Type of adhesive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
