Types of polyester resins.

Isophthalic polyester resin.

  • Main Features:

    • Good chemical resistance.

​

  • ​Uses:

    • ​Applications in shipbuilding and marine.

    • Manufacture of parts exposed to aggressive chemical conditions.

Orthophthalic polyester resin.

  • Main Features:

    • Greater hardness compared to isophthalic.

    • Improved tensile strength.

    • Suitable for applications that require greater rigidity.

​

  • Applications:

    • Manufacture of parts that demand greater hardness.

    • Applications in laminates that need structural resistance.

Modified orthophthalic polyester resin.

  • Main Features:

    • Same hardness compared to orthophthalic.

    • Suitable for applications that require greater rigidity.

    • Sustainable approach added with recycled PET.

​

  • Applications:

    • Manufacture of parts that demand greater hardness.

    • Applications in laminates that need structural resistance.

Isophthalic gelcoat.

  • Main Features:

    • Resistance to aggressive environments, UV rays and hydrolysis.

    • Formulated on a polyester base.

​

  • Applications:

    • Durable topcoat for weather-exposed applications.

    • Surface finish on elements exposed to the sun and adverse conditions.

Orthophthalic gelcoat.

  • Main Features:

    • Resistance to harsh use environments and UV rays.

    • Formulated on a polyester base.

​

  • Applications:

    • Durable topcoat for mold making applications.
