2. Polyester resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester_resin

   In unsaturated polyester (UPR) chemistry, unsaturation sites are present along the chain, usually by incorporation of maleic anhydride, but maleic acid and fumaric acid are also used. Maleic acid and fumaric acid are isomers where maleic is the cis-isomer and fumaric is the trans-isomer.

3. Maleic anhydride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maleic_anhydride

   Around 50% of world maleic anhydride output is used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). Chopped glass fibers are added to UPR to produce fiberglass reinforced plastics that are used in a wide range of applications such as pleasure boats, bathroom fixtures, automobiles, tanks and pipes.

4. Isophthalic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isophthalic_acid

   Isophthalic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 H) 2.This colorless solid is an isomer of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid.The main industrial uses of purified isophthalic acid (PIA) are for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin and for the production of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and other types of coating resins.

5. Polyester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

   Alkyd resins are made from polyfunctional alcohols and fatty acids and are used widely in the coating and composite industries as they can be cross-linked in the presence of oxygen. Also rubber-like polyesters exist, called thermoplastic polyester elastomers (ester TPEs). Unsaturated polyesters (UPR) are thermosetting resins.

6. tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_peroxybenzoate

   Primarily, TBPB is used as a radical initiator, either in the polymerization of e.g. ethylene (to LDPE), vinyl chloride, styrene or acrylic esters or as so-called unsaturated polyester resins (UP resins). [2] The quantity used for the curing of UP resins is about 1-2%. [2]

7. Gelcoat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelcoat

   Gelcoat or gel coat is a material used to provide a high-quality finish on the visible surface of a fibre-reinforced composite.The most common gelcoats are thermosetting polymers based on epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin chemistry.

8. Thermoset polymer matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoset_polymer_matrix

   Unsaturated polyester resins are an extremely versatile, [12] [13] and fairly inexpensive class of thermosetting polymer formed by the polycondensation of glycol mixtures often containing propylene glycol, with a dibasic acid and anhydrides usually maleic anhydride to provide backbone unsaturation needed for crosslinking, and phthalic anhydride ...

9. Synthetic resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_resin

   Solvent impregnated resins (SIRs) are porous resin particles which contain an additional liquid extractant inside the porous matrix. The contained extractant is supposed to enhance the capacity of the resin particles. A large category of resins, which constitutes 75% of resins used, [citation needed] is that of the unsaturated polyester resins.
