Unsaturated Polyester (UPE)

UPE endues markets are generally in building and construction and transportation. The glass reinforced panels or lay-up conform to desired contours or pultruded materials bring these materials into a spectrum of applications where flame retardancy is required by code regulations

Suspension of flame retardant additive systems such as DE-83R, Firemaster 2100, and FF-680, in combination with TMA and alumina trihydrate in the uncured resin comete with resins where the reactive flame retardants are incorporated into the backbone by the resin manufacturer. Dibromostyrene can also be inocrporated before the cure substituting for some of the styrene monomer in the uncured resin system.
