Abstract

The unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) used in artificial stones is a special grade, which should satisfy all technical requirements. To synthesize this UPR, the new temperature program has been established according to fuse balance polycondensation method at maximum temperature at 200^oC. This temperature program showed high stability, safety, and good reproducibility. The UPR properties respond to all technical requirements. Experiment showed, the most important requirement is keeping molar ratio (-OH): (-COOH) = 1,1 : 1,0. The physico-mechanical properties of artificial stone, using synthezied UPR – PHX (Sample S1) and commercial UPR – SHCP (Sample S2) indicated that mechanical properties of S1 is higher than that of S2. FESEM images show that S1 and S2’s morphology have UPR matrix iniformly distributed in a inorganic filler without phase separation at interphase.
