Watch this educational 3D video-animation and see how the unsaturated polyester resin curing process works, nicely illustrated with some everyday life examples of polyester thermoset composites.
Unsaturated polyester resin can be cured with the help of organic peroxides, such as MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide). Organic peroxides initiate the polyester curing reaction and are thus an essential ingredient to make polyester thermoset composites. The same curing process is also used to make gelcoats based on polyester resin. Applications of unsaturated polyester resin composites include: polyester boats, truck panels, GRP pipes, kitchen tops, trays and many more.
