Poliésteres

Sometimes called oil-free alkyds, polyesters are produced through condensation polymerization.

Unlike their alkyd cousins, they are used exclusively in thermoset applications to produce baking enamels or air-dry, two-component urethanes.

Their main properties are:

• excellent adhesion to metals
• excellent flexibility and impact resistance
• better hardness
• exterior durability,
• yellowing resistance
