Isophthalic Unsaturated Polyester Production
This report presents the economics of Isophthalic Unsaturated Polyester production from maleic anhydride, isophthalic acid, propylene glycol and styrene using a two-stage batch process located in the United States. In the first stage, the glycol and isophthalic acid react to produce a cleat melt. Maleic anhydride is added subsequently and the resin is completed.

DCPD Unsaturated Polyester Production
This report presents the economics of DCPD Unsaturated Polyester production from maleic anhydride, dicyclopentadiene, monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and styrene using a typical batch process in the United States. The addition reaction of maleic anhydride produces a dicyclopentadiene acid maleate that condenses with glycols to form DCPD resin.
