2. Gelcoat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelcoat

   Gelcoats are modified resins which are applied to moulds in the liquid state. They are cured to form crosslinked polymers and are subsequently backed with thermoset polymer matrix composites which are often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass, or epoxy resin which is most commonly used with carbon fibre for higher specific strength.

3. Vinyl ester resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_ester_resin

   This thermoset material can be used as an alternative to polyester and epoxy materials as the thermoset polymer matrix in composite materials, where its characteristics, strengths, and bulk cost are intermediate between polyester and epoxy. Vinyl ester has lower resin viscosity (approx. 200 cps) than polyester (approx. 500cps) and epoxy (approx ...

4. Polyester resin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester_resin

   Polyester resins are synthetic resins formed by the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols. Maleic anhydride is a commonly used raw material with diacid functionality in unsaturated polyester resins. [1] Unsaturated polyester resins are used in sheet moulding compound, bulk moulding compound and the toner of laser printers.

5. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

   A suitable resin for combining the fiberglass with a plastic to produce a composite material was developed in 1936 by DuPont. The first ancestor of modern polyester resins is Cyanamid's resin of 1942. Peroxide curing systems were used by then. [6] With the combination of fiberglass and resin the gas content of the material was replaced by plastic.

6. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   A suitable resin for combining the "fibreglas" with a plastic to produce a composite material, was developed in 1936 by du Pont. The first ancestor of modern polyester resins is Cyanamid's resin of 1942. Peroxide curing systems were used by then. [6] With the combination of fibreglas and resin the gas content of the material was replaced by ...

7. Epoxy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

   A syringe of "5-minute" epoxy glue, containing separate compartments for the epoxy resin and the hardener Structure of the epoxide group, a reactive functional group present in all epoxy resins. Epoxy is the family of basic components or cured end products of epoxy resins.
