Polyester resin (more loosely referred to as ‘laminating resin’ or ‘fibreglass resin’) is a polymer. Simple to use and economical, it is a major component in many industries, from construction to aerospace. Offering incredible physical and chemical properties, it’s also comparatively cheap compared to other resins like epoxies and urethanes, yet
it offers similar – if not superior – performance in many cases.
The term ‘polyester resin’ largely refers to ‘unsaturated polyester resin’ unless
otherwise specified.
Applications of Polyester Resin
Polyester is primarily used in composite applications where it is typically combined with glass
fibre reinforcement to create fibreglass – also known as glass reinforced polyester (GRP).
The mechanical properties of polyester are substantially enhanced when combined with glass fibre. Acting as a low-cost reinforcement phase to polyester’s matrix phase, glass fibre adds mechanical strength to the composite, itself bound together by the resin
Classic examples of fibreglass linings, coatings and moulds include, but are not limited to
storage tanks, pipes, automotive components and marine components (e.g., boat and yacht
hulls and decks) as well as fibreglass roof materials, fibreglass roof repair kits and more general
repair kits. It is also used as an ingredient in speciality coatings and adhesives.
