Abstract Unsaturated polyester resin compositions that have a low shrinking property, and at the same time, an enough strength are provided. The compositions comprises (1) 30-70 parts by weight of an unsaturated polyester obtained by reactin terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid and one or more of unsaturated acids selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, maleic acid and fumaric acid, with a glycol, and having the unsaturation degree of 1.5-5.0 and the acid value of 18-40, (2) 70-30 parts by weight of alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (3) 5-30 parts by weight of an amorphous linear saturated polyester resin obtained by reacting terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid with a glycol component.
A low shrinkage unsaturated polyester resin composition which comprises (1) 30-70 parts by weight of an unsaturated polyester obtained by reacting (a) an acid selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and mixtures thereof and (b) an unsaturated acid selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, maleic acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures thereof with (c) a glycol, said polyester having the unsaturation degree (moles of the unsaturated acids in 1,000 g. of the unsaturated polyester) of 1.5-5.0 and the acid value of 18-40, (2) 70-30 parts by weight of α,β-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (3) 5-30 parts by weight of an amorphous linear saturated polyester resin obtained by reacting an acid selected from the terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and mixtures thereof with a glycol component.
