Product Description
Unsaturated Polyester Resin
Unsaturated Polyester Resin is a high performance liquid formulations that is commonly used in the production of fiber reinforced plastic and various plastic products such as pipes, gratings, tanks, fenders, and many more. It is available in different grades as per their concentration and viscosity that can be delivered to our customers as per the order placed by them. The offered Unsaturated Polyester Resin is free from unwanted impurities that make it highly demanding among our customers.
Applications Across IndustriesThis Unsaturated Polyester Resin finds extensive use in fiberglass-reinforced plastics, casting, laminates, coatings, and adhesives. Its clarity, optimal viscosity, and robust thermal performance make it highly suitable for both structural and protective applications in sectors such as marine, automotive, and construction.
Correct Storage and HandlingOptimal storage conditions are vitalstore the resin in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and all ignition sources, to preserve its 6-month shelf life. Handling precautions, especially due to its 32C flash point, include using proper protective equipment and keeping the resin tightly sealed when not in use.
FAQs of Unsaturated Polyester Resin:
Q: How should Unsaturated Polyester Resin be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: To maximize its 6-month shelf life, the resin must be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and avoid temperature extremes.
Q: What are the primary uses of this Unsaturated Polyester Resin?
A: This resin is primarily used in fiberglass-reinforced plastics, casting, laminates, protective coatings, and adhesives. Its versatility and durability make it a preferred material in industries such as construction, automotive, and marine.
Q: When does the resin typically gel during processing?
A: The resin achieves gelation typically within 1020 minutes at 25C when catalyzed with MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide), making it adaptable for most application timelines.
Q: Where can this resin be applied for optimum performance?
A: This resin performs best in environments requiring strong mechanical properties and heat resistance up to 120C, such as in composite structural parts, molded products, and high-performance industrial laminates.
Q: What are the benefits of using this Unsaturated Polyester Resin in manufacturing?
A: Key benefits include excellent clarity, good thermal resistance, fast curing, and compatibility with styrene. These properties enable strong, lightweight products with reliable performance over time.
Q: How soluble is the resin in common solvents?
A: The resin is insoluble in water but demonstrates good solubility in styrene, making it easy to blend and process for composite manufacturing and other industrial applications.
