Precautions for Using Unsaturated Polyester Resin in Anti-Corrosion Engineering Construction

What should be noted in anti-corrosion projects using Unsaturated Polyester Resin?

Unsaturated polyester resin has the advantages of being lightweight, high strength, and corrosion-resistant, making it frequently used in anti-corrosion engineering. We have summarized some precautions for unsaturated resin anti-corrosion projects, hoping to provide you with some reference.

Selection of Unsaturated Polyester Resin for Anti-Corrosion

Currently, most resin manufacturers have launched a variety of resins with different functions. In unsaturated polyester resin anti-corrosion projects, the corresponding resin type is usually selected based on specific needs.

Preparation for Anti-Corrosion Projects

After selecting the material type, it is also necessary to determine the appropriate construction mix ratio and construction methods through testing, based on the construction environment's temperature, humidity, raw materials, and work characteristics. This preparation is essential for the formal large-scale unsaturated resin anti-corrosion project construction.

To ensure the cleanliness of the materials and the effectiveness of the anti-corrosion construction, the containers and tools used for mixing should be kept clean, dry, free of oil stains, and without curing residues. During construction and curing, measures should be taken at the construction site to prevent dust, water, fire, and sun exposure, ensuring safety.

Contents of Anti-Corrosion Projects

Generally speaking, unsaturated resin anti-corrosion projects specifically include an overall layer of fiberglass and isolation layer bonded with resin adhesive, a block surface layer paved with resin mortar and grout, and an overall layer made of resin mortar, thinned grout, and glass flake grout.

During construction, the above materials should be stored safely and properly. For example, materials such as unsaturated resin, curing agents, and diluents should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated place, while materials like fiberglass cloth and powders should be stored to prevent moisture.

Based on the construction mix ratio determined in the preparation phase, the unsaturated resin should be mixed with the accelerator first, then with the initiator, to prepare the resin adhesive for the actual construction.

Besides the above points, there are many other considerations for unsaturated resin anti-corrosion projects that need to be adjusted based on specific situations. If you are unsure, you can also consult the resin manufacturer.
