Frequently Asked Questions. 

1.What is polyester resin? 

Polyester resin is a strong, versatile material used to make a variety of products, including composite materials, flat roofs, pipes, and storage tanks. Polyester resin is made by mixing unsaturated polyester monomers and a cross-linking agent. The monomers are the basic building blocks of the resin, and the cross-linking agent helps to make the resin solid. Polyester resin is waterproof and can withstand harsh conditions, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications.

2. What are the advantages of using polyester resin? 

Polyester resin has various advantages, including strong chemical resistance, ease of manufacturing, versatility in applications, and a low cost compared to other types of resins. It can be easily moulded into a variety of forms and sizes, making it useful for both small-scale projects and huge industrial uses.

3. How do I cure polyester resin?

Polyester resin is typically cured through a chemical reaction known as cross-linking. This reaction is initiated by adding a catalyst to the resin, which triggers the formation of bonds between the polymer chains. The curing process may involve heat, UV light, or a combination of both, depending on the type of resin and application.
