The invention discloses a preparing method for a 
styrene-free low-volatile-matter 
unsaturated polyester resin. The preparing method is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) adding dihydroxy 
alcohol, saturated and unsaturated diacid / dianhydride, 
dicyclopentadiene and a 
polymerization inhibitor according to a proportion; (2) introducing an 
inert gas 
nitrogen or 
carbon dioxide to remove air from a reactor; (3) starting stirring, raising the temperature to 80-90 DEG C, keeping a reaction for 1 hour, then slowly raising the temperature by controlling the temperature raising rate to be 10 DEG C per 10 minutes until the temperature reaches 160 DEG C, carrying out prepolymerization for 1 hour, controlling the temperature at a 
reflux condensed water knockout drum outlet to be 102 DEG C or lower, then raising the temperature to 200 DEG C, carrying out polycondensation and water knockout for 5-7 hours, raising the temperature to 210 DEG C when the 
resin acid value is reduced to 50 mgKOH / g, and continuing to react for 1 hour; (4) when the 
acid value is detected to be lower than 40 mgKOH / g, reducing the temperature to 100 DEG C, adding 
acrylate monomers for 
dilution, mixing uniformly, cooling, and then discharging. The 
styrene-free low-volatile-matter 
unsaturated polyester resin disclosed by the invention can be widely applied to prepare 
unsaturated polyester coating, and is free of 
styrene, so that the harm caused by styrene is overcome fundamentally.
