Abstract

Abstract An unsaturated polyester resin composition which can give a cure-molded product having excellent low shrink properties and low profile, which comprises A. 70 to 97 parts by weight of at least one unsaturated polyester resin comprising I. an unsaturated polyester comprising an Alpha , Beta unsaturated dicarboxylic acid component and a saturated dicarboxylic acid component in a ratio of 75/25 to 35/65 by mol, wherein the saturated dicarboxylic acid component contains 90 or more % by mol of terephthalic acid component (on the basis of the dicarboxylic acid component), and II. a vinyl monomer and/or allyl monomer which are copolymerizable with the unsaturated polyester, wherein the ratio of (I)/(II) is in a range of 80/20 to 30/70 by weight, and B. 3 to 30 parts by weight of at least one saturated polyester comprising a saturated dicarboxylic acid component which contains 50 to 90 % by mol of terephthalic acid component (on the basis of the saturated dicarboxylic acid component), and optionally, further a polymerization catalyst.
