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.
