Overview
ZC-5885 is a phthalic unsaturated polyester resin built from phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and standard diols, dissolved in crosslinked monomers such as styrene, part of the Polylite product line in our resin range. It has medium viscosity and medium reactivity, offers good coloration, high strength, and good toughness, and is supplied with supply chain resource support for formulators sourcing a casting-grade unsaturated polyester resin.

Applications of ZC-5885 in Casting Products
This resin is suitable for solid surface material, common sanitary ware, and other casting products. Its good coloration and defined gel time window give formulators a predictable processing profile for detailed casting operations that require high strength and good toughness in the finished part.
Why the Phthalic Unsaturated Polyester Chemistry Matters
Because this resin is built from phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and standard diols, it is formulated to combine good coloration with high strength and good toughness once cast. The acid value range of 18-26 mgKOH/g and solid content of 64-70% give formulators reference points for evaluating batch-to-batch consistency before scaling a casting run.
Why Sourcing Consistency Matters for Buyers
Because viscosity, gel time, and solid content directly affect processability and finished-part quality, buyers should confirm current specifications for this resin against the latest technical data sheet before scheduling a production run. A supplier that consistently delivers this resin within its stated viscosity and gel time range reduces the need to re-qualify a casting recipe with every new batch.
This is particularly relevant for solid surface and sanitary ware manufacturers, where gel time and coloration are directly tied to production throughput and surface appearance. Buyers should confirm current batch documentation against the latest technical data sheet before finalizing a production schedule.
What to Consider When Sourcing ZC-5885
Buyers evaluating ZC-5885 for the first time should confirm that its gel time (5.6-10.4 min) and solid content (64-70%) match their casting line’s cycle time and process requirements. Requesting the current certificate of analysis alongside the technical data sheet is a practical way to confirm that a given batch matches the specifications listed above.
Packaging, storage temperature requirements, and shelf life should also be confirmed directly with the supplier, since these factors affect how this resin performs once it reaches a production facility. Buyers sourcing this resin for time-sensitive production schedules should discuss lead time and logistics requirements before finalizing an order.
General Handling and Storage Guidance
As with other unsaturated polyester resins, this product should be stored in accordance with the supplier’s technical data sheet, typically in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition, since elevated storage temperatures can affect the resin’s viscosity and gel characteristics over time. Personnel handling this material should follow the handling procedures specified in the safety data sheet.
Buyers should request and review the current safety data sheet for this resin prior to receipt, and confirm that on-site storage conditions are compatible with the supplier’s recommended shelf life and temperature range. Proper inventory rotation helps maintain the viscosity and mechanical performance described above.
