Polyester Resins Manufacturing Technology | Saturated Unsaturated UPR - Reliable Corporation
Advanced Composite Resins

Saturated & Unsaturated Polyester Resins

Comprehensive manufacturing technology for both Saturated and Unsaturated Polyester Resins. Excellent balance of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties for composites, coatings, adhesives, and advanced applications.

Technology Overview

Polyester resins represent a major class of synthetic polymers formed through the condensation reaction of polyhydric alcohols (glycols) with polybasic acids (or their anhydrides). These versatile materials are renowned for their excellent balance of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, making them indispensable across composites, coatings, adhesives, laminates, and molded articles industries.

Our advanced manufacturing technology covers both major categories: Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPRs) for thermosetting applications and Saturated Polyester Resins for both thermoplastic and thermosetting systems. Each type is engineered to deliver optimal performance characteristics for specific industrial applications.
