Resource - Polyester resin
Description
Polyester resins are thermoplastic polymers. It's the most widely used resin systems in the marine industry. By far the majority of dinghies, yachts and workboats built in composites make use of this resin system. Polyesters are produced commercially both as saturated and unsaturated resins. The most common, highest volume produced polyester is Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a saturated polyester that finds utilization in such applications as fibers for clothing and carpet, food and liquid containers (such as a water/soda bottles), as well as films. PET’s non-reactance with many foods makes it an ideal packaging material. Because of its easy application and durability, polyester resin is also applied to patch cracks and holes that need to remain watertight.
