Principal Properties & Application:
ALITA 132 unsaturated polyester resin is a pre-accelerated, thixotropic, general-purpose resin based on Orthophthalic acid, propylene glycol, and styrene as the main raw materials. It has low viscosity, good fiberglass wetting properties, and excellent thixotropic workability. The products made from this resin exhibit good mechanical strength. It is suitable for hand lay-up or spray molding of various fiberglass-reinforced plastic products, such as FRP vehicles, automotive parts, fishing boats, yachts, lifeboats, and other molded items. This product has been approved by the China Classification Society.

Handling and Storage:
This resin contains ingredients which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothing should be worn.
Drums – It is highly recommended that all material is stored at stable temperatures below 25℃ ( 77℉). Avoid exposure to heat sources such as d irect sunlight or steam pipes. To avoid contamination of product with water, do not store outdoors. Keep sealed to prevent moisture pick-up and monomer loss. Rotate stock.
We provide small samples free of charge, but you will need to cover the shipping costs.
We have our own technical department. After you test the sample, please provide us with your detailed requirements. We can adjust the resin accordingly to enhance the properties of your finished products.
Honestly, it depends on the quantity. We will do our best to create a production plan based on your estimated time of arrival (ETA).
For the first trial order, we require 100% payment upfront. For subsequent orders, we ask for 30% payment in advance and 70% payment after the buyer receives the B/L copy. We also accept L/C if needed.
