| Abstract: | Use of the natural resin shellac in general
grade polyester resin based sheet moulding compound (SMC) has been examined in
the manufacture of fibre-glass reinforced sheets (FRP). Use of small quantity
of shellac resulted in some improvement in the mechanical properties of FRP
sheets and the sheets did not deteriorate in sunlight and showed resistance
towards various chemicals. The FRP sheets were also prepared based on
isophthalate and bisphenol polyester resins. Shellac being natural and
possessing UV ray absorbing properties, its use in the manufacture of FRP
sheets is expected to make sheets more eco-friendly and last longer |
