Unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) are a type of thermosetting resin formed by the reaction of an unsaturated polyester resin with a cross-linking monomer usually styrene. UPRs are ideal for rapid prototyping due to fast curing times and low cost. These offer good strength, stiffness and durability properties, thus, making them useful for various industrial applications such as pipes, bathtubs, boat hulls and automobile parts. UPRs are replacing traditional materials like wood, metal and concrete in many uses due to advantages such as corrosion resistance, design flexibility and lower costs of production.
Market Dynamics:
Global unsaturated polyester resins market growth is driven by robust growth of industries, where UPRs are predominantly used, such as construction and transportation. Rising population and increased construction activities especially in developing countries can boost need for better infrastructure and housing, which boosts demand of unsaturated polyester resins. Cost effectiveness compared to alternatives and easy moldability of UPRs facilitate their use in varied applications. However, strict environmental regulations around VOC emissions during manufacturing can hamper the market growth. Substitution threat from epoxy resins that offer higher heat and chemical resistance can also hamper the market growth. Development of bio-based unsaturated polyester resins using renewable resources can present new opportunities in the near future.
