Abstract
Abstract Stable compositions are prepared from a mixture of an unsaturated vinyl ester thermosettable resin containing a copolymerizable monomer and an unsaturated polydiene rubber having an inherent viscosity between about 0.30 to 1.2 deciliters/gram. Thermoset articles reinforced with glass fibers, etc. prepared from said composition have improved properties such as impact strength, surface smoothness and paintability as well as good mechanical properties such as tensile strength and modulus. The compositions are noteworthy in their ability to accept pigments uniformly without producing mottling even with dark pigments.
