Summary: Synthesis and properties of amine modifiers for unsaturated polyester resins are presented. The modifiers were obtained by reacting 3‐azapentan‐1,5‐diol (diethanoloamine) with 2,4‐dichloro‐6‐methoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine, 2‐chloro‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine or with cyanuric chloride. They were incorporated into the structure of typical unsaturated polyester resins in the polycondensation stage, i.e. prior to dilution with styrene, in the amount of 0.25 through to 2.0 wt.‐%. The effect of the modifier presence on the curing behavior of the resulting resins is discussed.Gelation times for unsaturated polyester resins modified with modifiers A, B, and C are shown with the curing system consisting of peroxide initiator and (▪): 0.10 cm3, (•): 0.15 cm3, (▴): 0.25 cm3, and (▾): 0.50 cm3 of cobalt(II) octenate solution per 25 g of resin.imageGelation times for unsaturated polyester resins modified with modifiers A, B, and C are shown with the curing system consisting of peroxide initiator and (▪): 0.10 cm3, (•): 0.15 cm3, (▴): 0.25 cm3, and (▾): 0.50 cm3 of cobalt(II) octenate solution per 25 g of resin.
