Experience the versatility and durability of Isophthalic Polyester Resin. This thermosetting resin, composed of polyester resin and isophthalic acid, undergoes a chemical reaction when mixed with a catalyst, transforming into a solid state. Its exceptional mechanical properties include high tensile strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. With excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, and UV degradation, this resin is perfect for various applications.

Key Features:

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard orthophthalic polyester resin
  • Compatible with different manufacturing processes: hand lay-up, spray-up, filament winding, and infusion
  • Ideal for creating tanks, pipes, boat hulls, automotive parts, and architectural components
  • Works well with various reinforcement materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, and aramid fibers
  • Requires a catalyst or hardener for curing, with the option of using an air inhibitor like styrene wax or Duratec High gloss additive if used outside of a mold

Additional Benefits:

  • Improved water resistance for marine environments and water storage tanks
  • Good chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents
  • Moderate heat resistance
  • Low shrinkage for improved dimensional stability
  • Moderate UV stability, with the recommendation of using UV-resistant coatings or topcoats for outdoor or UV-rich environments

Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended and be sure to store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Polyester resin typically has a limited shelf life and may undergo changes in viscosity or other properties over time
