Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: a 'vinyl resin' is a resin (sticky/plastic material) derived from or containing vinyl, so a learner who knows both constituent meanings can infer it denotes a resin made from vinyl. Although the full technical details (e.g., 'thermoplastic' or polymerization) are specialized, the basic object-level meaning is transparently recoverable from the parts.
Etymology
Vinyl resin takes its name from two parts: vinyl, the type of plastic used for old 'vinyl' records, and resin, a 'sticky' substance that can become solid plastic when heated. So vinyl resin simply means the plastic material made from vinyl, often used for coatings and flexible, durable items.
