A resin composition comprising (A) 25 to 45 parts by weight of an unsaturated polyester having special structure, (B) 40 to 60 parts by weight of polymerizable monomer such as styrene, and (C) 4.5 to 15 parts by weight of a polystyrene, has low shrink properties and excellent electrical properties when molded, particularly by casting.

Resin composition with low shrinkage

A resin composition which comprises (A) 50 to 90 parts by weight of an unsaturated ester oligomer produced by reacting a glycol, hydroxylated dicyclopentadiene, and at least one unsaturated dibasic acid or anhydride thereof until an acid value of less than 40, (B) 50 to 10 parts by weight of one or more polymerizable monomers, and (C) 3 to 15 parts by weight of polystyrene based on 100 parts by weight of the total of the components (A) and (B), can give molded articles having low shrink properties and improved color shading, cracks, etc.
