Morphology

coumarone + resin

This is a straightforward compositional noun compound: 'coumarone' names the chemical source and 'resin' names the material, so 'coumarone resin' means a resin made from coumarone. Although the term is technical, the semantic relation (resin derived from X) follows regular English compounding and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Coumarone resin takes its name from two parts: coumarone, the chemical building block, and resin, a sticky, plastic-like material. So the name simply means a resin made from coumarone and explains why it is 'used in paints, coatings, and flooring'.
