Overview

ALITA 1005NSM Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resin (Foam-Compatible)

CategoryStyrene-Free ResinCodeALITA 1005NSM

Features

ALITA 1005NSM is a medium viscosity, medium reactivity, styrene-free unsaturated polyester resin specifically formulated for direct application on foam substrates.

  • Core Advantage: Non-corrosive to various foams (PS, PE, PVAC, PU, etc.), preventing any erosion or collapse of the foam structure.
  • Low Shrinkage: Exhibits exceptionally low curing shrinkage, ensuring excellent interfacial bonding and dimensional stability between the laminate and foam core.
  • Process Friendly: Ideal for hand lay-up multi-process applications on foam cores.

Applications

  • Water Sports Equipment: Manufacture of surfboards, paddleboards, windsurfers, and other foam-core products.
  • Marine Components: Lightweight marine parts using EPS/XPS foam substrates.
  • Sculptures & Models: Bonding and reinforcement of foam-based large-scale sculptures, architectural models, and industrial prototypes.
