How is Resin produced? What exactly is it?

[Feign]

Monomer: 1000 ml 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate
Initiator: 20 g Phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide

So, are there trade names for either of these chemicals or other uses they seperately might have? Knowing the chemical names of the ingrediants is all good and well, but I think what Vinnie is looking for is a photoresin that can be made with household chemicals, or at least common market-available ingrediants. (Which I realize is a pretty tough request!)
