For the First Half of 2022
After nearly shutting down in January and coming to a complete standstill in late feburary, the Chinese Unsaturated Polyester Resin market began to show signs of recovery in March. Although end-user sectors demand were still poor and downstream industries have not fully recovered, there were encouraging indicators.
Along with increasing domestic market stockpiles, Unsaturated Polyester Resin price trends were low during the said period. Covid's return in China and government restrictions further slowed down trade.
Also, the transportation costs rose as container freight rates increased. Additionally, the crisis between Russia and Ukraine resulted in low export cotton demand and slow yarn trade, which drove up the price of polyester resin averaging 1314-1329 USD/MT FOB Shanghai.

About
Polyesters are one of the most versatile classes of synthetic polymers. They are produced globally in high volume and are widely used as fibres, plastics, coatings, etc. Unsaturated polyester resins are condensation products of unsaturated acids or anhydrides and diols. The unsaturation in this type of polyester provides a site for subsequent cross-linking, thereby influencing its properties. The properties of these compounds also depend upon the chemical substrates used, and the fillers or composites added.

Production Processes
- Production of Unsaturated Polyester Resin via DCPD Unsaturated Polyester Process; via Orthophthalic Unsaturated Polyester Resin Process; via Isophthalic/ Terephthalic Unsaturated Polyester Process
The process of producing an unsaturated polyester comprises many steps. Firstly, depolymerizing polyethene terephthalate with polyhydric alcohol and adding maleic anhydride to the depolymerization product to allow them to react with each other and then adding dicyclopentadiene to the reaction mixture to cause an addition reaction. To the product obtained, polyhydric alcohol and a polybasic acid is added to cause a polycondensation reaction, thereby giving the desired product.
