Abstract

Abstract Hybrid resins result from the combination of the urethane and unsaturated polyester technology. Improved resin casting and laminate properties are obtained when polyalkylene terephthalate unsaturated polyesters are employed, in lieu of the isophthalic polyesters of the prior art. Especially notable are improved heat distortion temperatures which exceed substantially those of the isophthalic based resins. The economics of using such terephthalate resins is demonstrated. Also within the scope of the present invention is the use of secondary hydroxyl compounds in the preparation of the polyesters. It has previously been believed that such compounds led to embrittlement of the final hybrid.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 68 words
A hybrid resin system which comprises an unsaturated polyester polyol, an unsaturated diluent, a diisocyanate and catalysts for promoting the urethane reaction between the polyol and the diisocyanate and the crosslinking reaction between the unsaturated bonds of the urethane and the diluent, the improvement comprising employing a terephthlate containing entity in the preparation of said polyester polyol as the principal aromatic diacid or diester component of said polyol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 68 words
A hybrid resin system which comprises an unsaturated polyester polyol, an unsaturated diluent, a diisocyanate and catalysts for promoting the urethane reaction between the polyol and the diisocyanate and the crosslinking reaction between the unsaturated bonds of the urethane and the diluent, the improvement comprising employing a terephthlate containing entity in the preparation of said polyester polyol as the principal aromatic diacid or diester component of said polyol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
