- Abstract
- A unique series of bromine containing unsaturated polyesters designed to provide improved fire retardancy and physical strengths has been developed. The utilization of these new DION FR polyesters in reinforced plastics for building panel, laminating, molding, and corrosion applications is reviewed. Data is presented showing improvements in physical strengths, flame retardancy and weatherability.
