Unsaturated polyester resins are utilized in numerous high volume applications that touch our everyday lives.
These applications include, Marine, Building and Construction, Wind and Automotive. The manufacturability, design allowance and weight savings that are commonplace with FRP and Cast Polymers make UPR resins a popular choice.
UNSATURATED POLYESTER RESINS' s PRODUCTS
AROPOL™
Aropol™ resins are designed for maximum fabrication and manufacturing flexibility.
Aropol™ unsaturated polyester resins can be utilized in a wide range of processes such as open mold laminating, bulk molding compounding, sheet molding compounding, resin transfer molding, pultrusion and infusion.
In addition, Aropol™ resin technology provides high mechanical and impact properties and good surface profiling. Aropol™ resins can be customized to meet fabricators needs for varying reactivity, viscosity, gel time and exotherms.
These trusted resins represent our commitment to working with customers to provide solutions that generate results.
AROTRAN™
Arotran™ resins and resin systems have proven effective in the automotive and heavy-truck markets for both Class A and structural-part applications.
An outcome of our collaborative approach to problem solving, these resins can be utilized in a wide range of processes such as sheet molding compound (SMC), high-pressure resin-transfer molding, open-mold laminating, bulk-molding compounding (BMC) and infusion.
In addition, Arotran™ resin technology provides excellent mechanical properties, toughness and surface appearance. Arotran™ resins can also provide a molded-in black color with excellent UV stability that eliminates the need for paint.
Arotran™ Class A SMC and structural resins utilize nano-composite materials to provide original equipment manufacturers and molders with lower-mass SMCs, which results in lighter parts. Please note, parts made from Arotran™ Class A resins offer superior surface finish, reduction in paint pops, excellent bond and paint adhesion properties. While parts made from Arotran™ structural resins provide a lower-mass structure with excellent mechanical and heat-resistance properties.
ENVIREZ™
A true innovation, Envirez™ resins are the first commercially available unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) containing a significant quantity of renewable materials.
Envirez™ resins are manufactured using an innovative patented process that incorporates a variety of renewably sourced raw materials in the formulation.
Envirez™ resins meet the same performance and processing requirements as 100 percent petroleum-based UPR products and are used in a wide variety of processes and applications within the construction, marine, transportation and energy markets. The Envirez™ line illustrates DMC GLOBAL’ leadership position in UPR technology and our commitment to partner with our customers to offer real solutions to real-world issues. The Envirez™ line will enable fundamental change in how we reduce waste and participate in sustainable business practices.
POLARIS™
Polaris™ unsaturated polyester resins were developed in collaboration with fabricators to deliver resin solutions that fit your cast polymer, engineered stone and solid surface needs.
Polaris™ resins are designed to perform across a wide variety of critical processes, including high filler loading, fast green strength development and quick de-mold times without cracking or warping. For the solid surface fabricator, Polaris™ resins will produce void-free solid surfaces that exceed ANSI 124.6 testing requirements for stain and chemical resistance.
