Polyester / Alkyd Resins
- House Equipment / Infrastructure
- Functional Materials
Polyester resins are synthetic resins in which a number of monomers are polymerized with ester bonds. They have good mechanical properties such as bending, impact, and abrasion resistance, and have excellent texture and appearance. They are used widely in the range of fields such as architectures, consumer electronics, woodworking, steel plates, pre-coating metals and adhesives.
Polyester resins (also called oil-free alkyd resins) can form strong cross-linked coatings by reacting with hardeners such as polyisocyanates and melamine resins. Alkyd resins are polyester resins for coatings which are modified with natural oils or fatty acids.
DIC offers the product portfolio that have achieved high functionality by modifying them with other resins such as acrylic, urethane, epoxy, phenol, and silicone.Representative Products

Unsaturated Polyester Resins
- House Equipment / Infrastructure
Unsaturated polyester resins are mainly used for glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP). Having excellent tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and electric property, they are widely used for housing equipment, construction material and transportation equipment. They are also used for non-FRP for casting, coating material, decorative plate and putty. For such a variety of uses, The DIC Group presents many kinds of unsaturated polyester resin products.

Butadiene Resin Latex
Butadiene copolymer latex is generally referred to as synthetic rubber latex. It is a distinctive polymer that possess extremely high rubber elasticity. There are three types of product families, SBR, NBR, and MBR, by the copolymerization of monomers, and these are used in various fields and applications by designing products that make use of their characteristics.
