Polymer Resin is a solid byproduct derived from the Crude Oil refining process. It can be refined to useful products when combined with Water.

Alternate recipes analysis[]

Polymer Resin is part of the Fuel production chain. See Fuel#Alternate recipes analysis for more info.


  1. Polymer Resin is not a particularly desirable main product in Oil production, due to poor ratios. However, since both the default Fuel recipe and the Heavy Oil Residue alt create it as a byproduct, it is all but inevitable that a player with Fuel power will be generating it somehow, and it has to be disposed of in some way to avoid backing up. While this can be handled with the AWESOME Sink, merely adding water allows it to be used to produce Rubber, Plastic or Fabric (via a MAM unlock). This allows it to be used to allow a Fuel plant to augment the primary production of a Rubber or Plastic factory.
    • Residual Rubber makes 1 Rubber from 2 Resin and Residual Plastic makes 1 Plastic from 3 Resin ( the Polyester Fabric alt recipe makes 1 Fabric from 1 Resin )
    • It is important to still have a overflow Sink in a line handling Polymer Resin, as a safeguard against backing-up.
  2. If you don't have access to a lot of alternative recipes, the Polymer Resin recipe can be used to double Residual Rubber production (or to slightly increase Residual Plastic production) . Otherwise it's useful in combination with the Polyester Fabric recipe to automatically produce fabric.
