A low organic emission composition comprising a di-alkoxylated bisphenol-A dimaleate urethane dimethacrylate hybrid resin, an alkoxylated bisphenol-A diacrylate or dimethacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and other vinyl monomers. The composition is useful in such applications as a substitute for prior art resins, such as polyester/vinyl ester based resins, typically used in fiberglass reinforced plastic applications.

Bisphenol-A based polymers having low organic emissions

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one alkoxylated bisphenol-A diacrylate or dimethacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and at least one vinyl monomer. The composition is suitable for use in the fiberglass reinforced plastic art. The composition possesses similar or superior physical properties compared to unsaturated polyester based specialty resins, including emitting lower levels of organic volatiles than typical resins used in the art.
