Abstract
Abstract Light-colored unsaturated polyester resins containing at least 2% by weight bromine can be prepared by using at least a portion of the glycol ingredient dibromo neopentyl glycol and by using from 5 to 85 mol percent of tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride or endomethylene tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A method for producing a light-colored unsaturated polyester resin containing at least 2% by weight bromine from polyols or alkylene oxides and polycarboxylic acids or anhydrides wherein at least 5 mol percent of the polyol ingredient is dibromo neopentyl glycol and wherein from 5 to 85 mol percent of the polycarboxylic acid or anhydride is tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride or endomethylene tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride and wherein the polycarboxylic acid or anhydride also contains at least 10 mol percent of alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or anhydride to yield an unsaturated polyester resin having a color which is lighter than the color of a corresponding unsaturated polyester resin which does not contain the tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride or endomethylene tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride.
