ISO Polyester Resin is an isophthalic unsaturated polyester resin manufactured by Samrat Poly Resins. Isophthalic resins are built on isophthalic acid rather than the phthalic anhydride used in general-purpose orthophthalic grades. In general industry terms that difference allows a higher-molecular-weight polyester chain, which is why isophthalic resins are normally specified where a laminate faces water immersion, chemical service or sustained outdoor conditions rather than routine dry FRP work. Samrat Poly Resins supplies this grade for those more demanding FRP applications.
Where the requirement is routine general-purpose FRP lamination rather than chemical or water service, our orthophthalic grades such as GP Clear Resin and Unsaturated Polyester Resin are the usual route. Where the service medium is aggressive and a stated chemical-resistance requirement applies, review Vinyl Ester Resin as well. Share the FRP component, service medium and operating condition with your enquiry so the right grade can be confirmed.
