Unsaturated polyester resins are a class of synthetic polymers created through the chemical reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols. Key raw materials in their production include maleic anhydride and fumaric acid. These resins are characterized by their thermosetting properties, meaning they undergo a chemical change when heated, resulting in a rigid and durable material.
