Different kinds of resin are used to make casts
such as Polyester, epoxy, and polyurethanes,
however, their properties vary greatly. One such
popular type is the unsaturated polyester resin
which is primarily an artificial
material manufactured through a reaction between
alcohol and organic acids.

Also known as polyester resin or just polyester,
the unsaturated form is a thermoset resin or a
viscous liquid. It is well-resistant to heat,
fire, and chemicals and available in a variety
of colors.

The properties and excellent features of
polyester resin make it a quite useful material
to be used in several industries. The product
strength relies greatly on the application. Being
lightweight and resistant to the vagaries of
nature, it is widely used by engineers,
designers, and architects for different
applications.

6
Flexibility

• The structural applications that require a degree
  of movement use flexible polyesters. These are
  prepared through condensation polymerization of
  binary acid and dihydric alcohol.

7
Chemical Resistant
By varying the resin composition, the unsaturated
polyester resins are made to offer strong
chemical resistance to many chemicals
8
Fire Resistant
Fire-resistant polyester resin is prepared by
including additives in the composition.
Typically, such resin finds usage in high-risk
building structures like panels and electrical
components.

General Purpose
The general purpose polyester resin is ideally
required for non-structural aircraft parts and
most boating industry usage, along with a long
list of general applications.

Due to its adhesive property, the material finds
its best use for building body panels in boats,
automobiles, and airplanes. Being tensile and
light in weight, it is widely used in the marine
fields for the internal construction of boats
and yachts.
12
As a source of energy in many construction
materials due to its lightweight characteristic.
Its far combined with acrylic to make cabinet
furniture and assembled shower stalls.
Furthermore, these days its extensively used
along with fiberglass to coat buildings for
weatherproofing and extra strength.
13
Another significant feature is the ability to
form into the film when in the dried state. Its
transparent sheets make it an ideal packaging
product. Among the many ways, packaging exists
the material is used as the base in most kinds
of packaging.
14
The material gets high thermal, heat stability,
and good mechanical strength when combined with
fiberglass which helps create composite
structures. The mechanical characteristics of
the material are likely to enhance when it is
combined with glass fiber reinforcement. This is
also known as glass-reinforced polyester.
15
Unlike other materials like aluminum and steel,
the unsaturated synthetic material is quite
affordable. Also, it can be molded at an ambient
temperature when compared to the temperature
needed to mold metals and other substances.
