Unsaturated Polyester Resins are engineered for reliable performance across FRP applications, from everyday laminates to demanding industrial and railway components. These resins combine consistent reactivity, controlled viscosity and good wet–out to help fabricators achieve predictable mechanical properties and high-quality surface finish.
Orthophthalic (ortho) resins are condensation polymers manufactured by reaction of maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride on various glycols then diluted in styrene. They are among the most used thermoset resins and have uses in many applications such as general purpose composites. General purpose or orthophthalic resins are ideal for cost-effective laminates where good strength, processability and surface appearance are required.
Orthophthalic resins are widely used for laminates, panels, tanks and consumer FRP parts, offering desired cure rate, good fibre wet-out and compatibility with hand lay-up, spray-up and all open and closed-mould processes.
Isophthalic (ISO) resins are condensation polymers manufactured by reaction of maleic anhydride and isophthalic acid on glycols then diluted in styrene. Isophthalic resins are used where high hydrolysis and thermal resistance is needed, especially for the production of pipes and tanks and for marine applications. Isophthalic acid-based resins are used in applications that require higher mechanical properties and a higher degree of corrosion resistance when exposed to chemical and water environments. Iso resins are slightly stronger and have a higher heat distortion temperature.
These properties make iso resins ideal for corrosion-resistant applications, such as chemical tanks and process equipment, and they are also excellent for many tooling applications. Isophthalic resins deliver better hydrolytic stability which offers improved chemical and weather resistance compared with general purpose grades.
Vinyl ester resins are based on the reaction product of an epoxy resin with an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. A specific feature in the molecule is the position of the carbon-carbon unsaturation, which is located at the end of the molecule. The most commonly used epoxy resins are the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and the epoxidized phenol formaldehyde novolac, and as the monocarboxylic acid either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is generally used.
Vinyl ester resins are used in high performance composites because of their beneficial combination of good mechanical properties, high heat deflection temperature and resistance to corrosive attack from a wide range of chemicals.
