Dicyclopentadiene can increase the toughness, heat resistance, and water resistance of unsaturated polyester resin by introducing flexible segments, increasing cross-linking density.

Improve resin performance

The structural characteristics of Dicyclopentadiene enable it to introduce flexible segments into the resin molecular chain, effectively improving the toughness of unsaturated polyester resin and making it less prone to fracture under external impact.

Dicyclopentadiene can increase the crosslinking density of resin, improve its thermal stability, and withstand higher operating temperatures without deformation or performance degradation, generally speaking, the thermal deformation temperature of unsaturated polyester resin added with dicyclopentadiene can be increased by 10-20 ℃.

Dicyclopentadiene can reduce the water absorption of resin, allowing unsaturated polyester resin to maintain good performance and extend its service life even in humid environments or in contact with water.

Reduce production costs

Dicyclopentadiene is a relatively inexpensive raw material that can be used in unsaturated polyester resins to replace some higher priced raw materials, such as high-performance diacids or diols, effectively reducing resin production costs and improving product market competitiveness.

Regulating reaction activity

Dicyclopentadiene can to some extent regulate the reaction activity of unsaturated polyester resin,it can undergo copolymerization reaction with other monomers in the resin synthesis process, control the reaction rate, and make the resin production process more stable and easy to control. At the same time, it also helps to achieve more uniform crosslinking during the curing process, improving the overall performance of the resin.
