ALITA 132 – Pre-accelerated&thixotropic Orthophthalic Resin

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.
