Polyesters Usage And Synthesis
UsesPolyesters are polymers obtained by reacting monomeric polycarboxylic acid and poly alcohols. They are practically free of fatty acids (oils) and have a much simpler structure than that of alkyd. Polyester resins do not undergo oxidative polymerization (curing) and have a different curing mechanism than an alkyd.
Saturated polyesters are produced from a large number of polyfunctional alcohols, for example, 1-6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, and polycarboxylic acids (phthalic acid and adipic acid). Most saturated polyester resins have relatively low molecular weights, ranging from 5000 to 10,000 g/mol. These resins do not have the mechanisms for curing, and therefore, coatings prepared from them use cross-linking resins such as melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin, benzoguanimine-formaldehyde (BF) resin, or epoxy resin.
