Overview

ALITA 5202 Isophthalic Unsaturated Polyester Resin

CategoryWinding ResinCodeALITA 5202

Overview

ALITA 5202 is an unsaturated polyester resin based on isophthalic acid dissolved in styrene monomer. It is engineered for general-purpose glass fiber reinforced applications requiring outstanding mechanical properties and high resistance to environmental factors and hydrolysis.

Features

  • Chemical Resistance: High resistance to acidic/alkaline environments and hydrolysis.
  • Low Water Absorption: Extremely low moisture pick-up for durable underwater or outdoor performance.
  • Rigid Performance: High cross-linking density produces highly rigid and durable structures.

Usage Instructions

Highly suitable for filament winding, molding, casting, laminating, and corrosion-resistant linings. Main industrial targets include water tanks, marine hulls, chemical pipes, and storage containers.
