A spray method for making cured polyester resin foam is provided using a liquid unsaturated polyester resin, a sulfonyl hydrazide, an effective amount of a promoter, an effective amountof a catalyst and 0.005-3 parts quaternary ammonium salt.

Method for making polyester resin foam by spraying

An acid-stable surfactant, soluble in aqueous acidic medium, useful in emulsion polymerization, which is a copolymer containing the groups ##STR1## having one R--Z-- group and one --H group as terminal groups wherein R is a hydrocarbon group, ##STR2## R.sub.1 is --CO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, --CO.sub.2 C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --CO.sub.2 NH.sub.5 or --CN; each R.sub.2, each R.sub.3, each R.sub.4, each R.sub.5 and each R.sub.7 may be the same or different and each R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.7 is hydrogen or methyl; R.sub.6 is a group of the formula --CO.sub.2 H or its salt or a group of the formula --V--CO.sub.2 H or its salt wherein V is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkaryl; W is a group containing a sulfonic acid or a salt of a sulfonic acid or W is a sulfonic acid group or its salt.

Acid stable surfactant

A thermoplastic composition characterized by high impact strength and flex-resistance, based on a graft copolymer of resin-forming monomer (e.g., styrene-acrylonitrile) on EPDM type of rubber (especially a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene) having a Mooney viscosity of at least 55 ML-4 at 257.degree. F. and an iodine number of at least 15.
