APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR)
Unsaturated polyester resin contains reactive polyester chains in a formulated system that can crosslink during curing.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
This report studies the unsaturated polyester resins market, from angles of players, regions, product types and end industries, to analyze the status and the future.
Unsaturated polyester resin is produced first by esterificating diacid and diol to polymer form, then using styrene monomer to dissolve polymer into syrup form resin creating unsaturated polyester resin, this is what we called UPR.The advantages of UPR are easy blinding with filler and create excellent properties under room temperature with normal pressure. After applying pressure with heat, UPR can be formed into high hardness products with excellent mechanical properties. UPR has distinct properties in weather resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance and cold resistance. UPR is widely used in soft mold casting, button, boards, artificial marble, furniture, corrugated roofing, storage tanks, pipe line, yachts, fishing rods and many other construction FRP materials.
Initiator, promoter and temperature affect gel time and cure. Reinforcement wet-out and viscosity influence composite manufacture.
Cure shrinkage, heat generation and residual reaction affect dimensions and integrity. A practical process window must allow both filling and adequate cure.
What turns activity into demand
Evaluate the resin through the complete forming and curing sequence. Separate resin mass from fibre reinforcement and finished composite parts.
The commercial boundary
Separate resin mass from fibre reinforcement and finished composite parts.
