PALATAL A400-972: Isophthalic Unsaturated Polyester Resin
PALATAL A400-972 is an isophthalic unsaturated polyester resin dissolved in styrene, sourced by composite manufacturers who need a resin with a balance of rigidity, flexibility, and impact resistance for structural and infrastructure applications. As one of the recommended international brand products in our resin range, this grade is supplied with supply chain resource support for buyers standardizing on a single resin across multiple processes.
Benefits
- Cost effectiveness
- Good impact strength
- Excellent mechanical and electrical properties
- Balance of rigidity and flexibility
Applications
This resin is based on isophthalic acid and standard glycols, dissolved in styrene. It has a medium viscosity and a high reactivity, making it suited for a wide range of applications. Moldings made from this resin exhibit excellent mechanical properties, high resistance to heat deformation, and high impact resistance.
PALATAL A400-972 is particularly suitable for the production of pipes, profiles, and tanks in plant construction, for building infrastructure, and for boats and automotive bodies. It is a versatile resin suitable for use in hand and spray lay-up, filament winding, pultrusion, grating mouldings, cold press moulding, and resin injection processes.
Why Buyers Source This Isophthalic Resin
Pipe and tank fabricators, pultrusion factories, and infrastructure component manufacturers select this isophthalic resin when they need a single grade that performs across multiple processing methods without sacrificing mechanical performance. The combination of medium viscosity and high reactivity supports both open-mold lay-up work and closed processes such as filament winding and pultrusion, reducing the need to stock separate resin grades for each production line.
Process Compatibility
- Hand lay-up and spray lay-up
- Filament winding
- Pultrusion
- Grating mouldings
- Cold press moulding
- Resin injection processes
For buyers comparing resin options within our broader unsaturated polyester resin range, this resin offers a documented path to infrastructure and structural applications without switching resin families between different manufacturing processes.
Sourcing Guidance
Buyers evaluating PALATAL A400-972 for pipe, tank, or infrastructure work should reference the applicable resin performance review against a recognized standard such as ASTM D20 committee guidance, which can simplify sourcing and documentation for regulated composite applications. Requesting a current technical data sheet before finalizing a formulation is recommended.
