Abstract
Abstract To allow the use of stearyl stearate or paraffin in amounts to restrict styrene evaporation from an unsaturated polyester resin during curing, there is present in the resin a small amount (0.1 to 5% by weight) of a long-chain vinyl compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is straight- or branched-chain substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic C 6 -C 24 hydrocarbon, Y=H or CH 3 , n=zero or 1, ##STR2## Preferred such compounds are lauryl and stearyl methacrylate. The resins are made by admixture of the selected compound(s) with the conventional other components of the resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An unsaturated polyester resin composition for ambient temperature open lay-up moulding containing styrene as an agent for cross-linking during curing, a waxy compound selected from the group consisting of stearyl stearate and paraffin, and 0.1 to 5% by weight of at least one compound which is present to allow said waxy compound to be present in amounts which restrict styrene evaporation, which compound is theoretically capable of taking part in the cross-linking reaction and is of the formula ##STR7## wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, R is selected from the group consisting of straight and branched-chain and unsubstituted and, substituted aliphatic C 6 -C 24 hydrocarbons, n is a value selected from zero and 1 and X is selected from the group consisting of ##STR8##
