GP Resin

Product Details:

Button Grade Resin is a specialized unsaturated polyester resin designed specifically for manufacturing buttons and other small molded accessories. It is formulated to offer high clarity, excellent hardness, good polishability, and durability, making it suitable for both transparent and colored buttons in the fashion and garment industry.

Product Details:

Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) is a hardener (more precisely, a catalyst) commonly used to initiate the curing process in unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, and gel coats. It is essential in composite applications like FRP products, boat building, automotive parts, and laminates.

MEKP decomposes upon mixing with resin and generates free radicals, which start the polymerization (curing) of the resin. This reaction is exothermic (produces heat) and leads to the hardening of the resin.

Product Details:

GP Clear Resin (General Purpose Clear Resin) is a type of unsaturated polyester resin that is transparent and is typically used in applications where a clear, glossy finish is required. This resin is versatile and widely used in various industries for creating high-quality, visually appealing clear coatings, composite parts, and castings.

1. Transparency:

   • Offers a clear, glass-like finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the final product.

   • Can be pigmented or left transparent to showcase underlying materials or details.

2. General Purpose Use:

   • Often used for non-structural and low-stress applications. Ideal for general composite or coating projects where strength requirements are not as critical.

3. Low Viscosity:

   • Allows for easy application to large areas, ensuring good wet-out of reinforcements like fiberglass.

4. Curing with Catalyst:

   • Requires the addition of a catalyst (typically MEKP - Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) to initiate curing.

   • Cures to a rigid, durable surface.

5. Surface Finish:

   • Provides a smooth, glossy finish, which is often polished to a high shine for decorative purposes

Product Details:

Sheet Grade GP Resin (General Purpose Resin) is a type of unsaturated polyester resin specifically formulated for the production of FRP sheets, panels, and laminates. It is designed to offer good mechanical strength, surface finish, and fiber wet-out for general-purpose applications where high chemical resistance or fire retardancy is not critical.

1. General Purpose (GP) Polyester Resin:

   • Based on orthophthalic acid and styrene monomer.

   • Economical and easy to work with.

   • Suitable for non-structural or moderate-load FRP applications.

2. Optimized for Sheet Molding:

   • Offers good flow, wetting, and adhesion to glass fibers.

   • Cures to form a smooth, glossy sheet with uniform thickness and minimal porosity.

3. Catalyst-Cured:

   • Uses MEKP catalyst (1–2%) for room-temperature curing.

4. Good Surface Finish:

   • Can be used with gelcoat to improve aesthetics and weather resistance.

5. Low Shrinkage (in sheet applications):

   • Often formulated with additives to reduce warping or post-cure deformation.

Product Details:

GP Yellow Resin refers to a General Purpose (GP) unsaturated polyester resin that is pre-pigmented with a yellow color. It is commonly used in applications where a consistent yellow appearance is needed in the final FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) product, such as roofing sheets, cladding panels, bathroom partitions, and decorative FRP parts.

1. Pre-Colored Resin:

   • Comes with yellow pigment already blended into the resin, ensuring uniform color throughout the part.

   • Saves time and cost compared to manually adding pigment.

2. General Purpose Unsaturated Polyester Resin:

   • Based on orthophthalic acid, suitable for non-critical structural and decorative applications.

   • Easy to process with MEKP catalyst at room temperature.

3. Good Wet-Out & Flow:

   • Penetrates fiberglass mats well, making it ideal for hand lay-up and spray-up processes.

   • Good for making laminates and molded parts with a smooth finish.

4. Moderate Mechanical Properties:

   • Sufficient strength and flexibility for light-duty and general-purpose FRP items.

   • Not suitable for high chemical resistance or fire-retardant applications unless modified.
