Thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts and method for production thereof
Disclosed is a thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts, the composition including a thermosetting resin composite and a glass fiber. The thermosetting resin composite preferably includes 100 PHR of an unsaturated polyester resin, about 30 to 40 PHR of a low shrinkage agent, about 5 to 8 PHR of a release agent, about 130 to 140 PHR of a filler, about 2 to 8 PHR of a thickening agent, and about 1 to 2 PHR of a curing agent, based on 100 PHR of the unsaturated polyester resin. The thermosetting resin composition provides reduced costs and weight as compared to a steel material composed of only steel, and also exhibits physical properties comparable to the steel material.
1. A thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts comprising a thermosetting resin composite and a glass fiber,
wherein the thermosetting resin composite comprises about 100 PHR of an unsaturated polyester resin, about 30 to 40 PHR of a low shrinkage agent, about 5 to 8 PHR of a release agent, about 130 to 140 PHR of a filler, about 2 to 8 PHR of a thickening agent, and about 1 to 2 PHR of a curing agent, based on 100 PHR of the unsaturated polyester resin,
wherein the low shrinkage agent comprises at least two selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polybutadiene and polyurethane,
wherein the filler comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydroxide and silica.
2. The thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts of claim 1 , comprising about 60 to 70% by weight of the thermosetting resin composite and about 30 to 40% by weight of the glass fiber, based on the total weight of the thermosetting resin composition.
3. The thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts of claim 1 , wherein the unsaturated polyester resin has a degree of unsaturation of about 50% and a curing exothermic temperature of about 210° C.
4. The thermosetting resin composition for steel inserts of claim 2 , wherein the glass fiber has an average diameter of about 10 to 15 μm.
5. A thermosetting resin molded product for steel inserts prepared from the composition of claim 1 .
6. The thermosetting resin molded product for steel inserts of claim 5 , wherein the molded product is a molded product into which a steel sheet is inserted.
