Cylon organic resin

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

The Cylons use an organic resin^[1] as a major structural component of their Basestars. The resin is applied to metal as a viscous black paste. In its mature state, the resin is compared to cartilage. The resin is also compatible with Colonial hulls, as it is used to prolong Galactica's structural integrity until her end ("No Exit", "Deadlock").
