Isophthalic Polyester is perfect for fabricating dimensionally stable polyester molds and corrosive service parts. It is often used as a durable repair material for tank linings. This ISO polyester resin offers fast wet-out in spray-up or hand laminates. Isophthalic Polyester Resin has better strength properties than a general purpose polyester resin, which allow it to be used in more demanding applications.
