Thermoset Resin

Thermoset Resin

Thermoset resins are heat-resistant polymers that undergo a permanent chemical curing process, making them strong, rigid, and highly durable. Common types include unsaturated polyester resin (UP), epoxy resin (EP), and polyurethane (PU), widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction industries. Unlike thermoplastics, thermoset resins do not soften when reheated, offering excellent chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical strength for coatings, adhesives, composites, and insulation materials.

Types of Thermoset Resins and Their Applications

• UP (Unsaturated Polyester)
  • Appearance: Good mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance
  • Color: Typically clear or amber; often pigmented for composites
  • Applications: Marine, Construction, Automotive
• EP (Epoxy)
  • Appearance: Exceptional adhesion, chemical resistance, and structural strength
  • Color: Naturally clear or amber; customizable with fillers and pigments
  • Applications: Coatings, Composites, Electronics
• PF (Phenolic)
  • Appearance: High heat resistance, electrical insulation, and superior durability
  • Color: Commonly brown, black, or reddish due to formulation
  • Applications: Electrical Components, Automotive, Industrial Applications
• PU (Polyurethane)
  • Appearance: Flexible, abrasion-resistant, and cushioning
  • Color: Varies widely—transparent to opaque; easily dyed
  • Applications: Foams, Coatings, Elastomers
