Abstract
Abstract An unsaturated polyester prepared by reacting under esterification conditions the following reactants; A. AN ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED DICARBOXYLIC ACID; B. TETRAHYDROPHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE OR ENDOMETHYLENE TETRAHYDROPHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE; C. AN ALIPHATIC SATURATED DICARBOXYLIC ACID OR A DIMER OR TRIMER OF AN ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED ALIPHATIC MONOCARBOXYLIC ACID; AND D. CYCLOHEXANEDIMETHANOL OR A MIXTURE OF NEOPENTYL GLYCOL AND A SECOND DIHYDRIC ALCOHOL. Upon crosslinking or curing the unsaturated polyester with a vinyl monomeric crosslinking agent, there can be obtained products having improved thermal stability properties.
