Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) is a type of plastic resin used in a variety of applications, including the production of fiberglass reinforced plastics, coatings, and adhesives. UPR is a thermosetting resin, meaning it hardens when exposed to heat and cannot be remelted. It is composed of a polyester backbone with reactive double bonds, which allow it to be cross-linked with other molecules. UPR is known for its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and low cost. UPR is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and marine. It is used to produce parts for cars, boats, and other vehicles, as well as for coatings and adhesives. UPR is also used in the production of composites, such as fiberglass reinforced plastics. Some companies in the UPR market include Ashland, BASF, Dow, Huntsman, and Reichhold. Show Less Read more
