What else can I help you with?
Is fiberglass resin an epoxy or polyester?
Fibreglass resin is a polyester.
Is polyester resin a thermo plastic or thermosetting?
Once polyester resin cures (hardens) through a chemical reaction—usually with a catalyst like MEKP—it forms a rigid, cross-linked structure that cannot be melted or reshaped again. This irreversible curing process is the key characteristic of thermosetting materials. In contrast, thermoplastics soften when heated and can be remolded multiple times, which polyester resin cannot do after curing. That’s why polyester resin is widely used in fiberglass, boat hulls, automotive parts, and construction—applications where heat resistance and structural strength are essential.
What are the properties of polyester resin?
it
How does rising oil price affect the price of polyester resin?
as polyester resin is a bi-product of oil so if the prices of oil rise then it is definite that the polyster resin price will also rise.
How do you make unsaturated polyester resin for sheet?
No
How can epoxy resin be cured without hardener?
Epoxy resin cannot be cured without hardener because the hardener is necessary to initiate the chemical reaction that causes the resin to harden and cure.
Can you make clothes with polyester resin?
Yes, it is possible.
Can mix polyester resin and oil paint?
It will not mix.
Can you mix paint with polyester resin to color it?
yes
Fiberglass resin removal from fabric?
Acetone will work fairly well to remove the polyester resin--until the resin sets. Trichloroethane (e.g., ZipStrip) will soften the cured resin, possibly enough to remove it. Always try it on an inconspicuous spot before you commit to treat the whole garment. I know of a guy who had to wear a towel home because the acetone turned his polyester trousers into what looked like snot when he soaked them.
How is prepreg different from moulding compound?
Prepreg is a reinforcement material (such as carbon fiber or fiberglass) pre-impregnated with resin, while molding compound is a mix of resin, fillers, and other additives that is formed into a specific shape before curing. Prepreg is typically used in composite manufacturing processes where the resin is only cured when heated, while molding compound can be cured using heat, pressure, or a combination of both.
What is Poisson's ratio for polyester?
The poission ratio of orthophthalic polyester resin it's 0.37.
