Abstract

The present invention relates to the discovery and development of a novel class of phase stabilization additives for thermoset polyester resins. The use of these materials imparts improved glass read out and superior homogeneity when compared to art-disclosed systems thus producing an overall improved Class A quality thermoset polyester resin surface finish for a variety of products. The phase-stabilizing agents or additives of the present invention comprise a select group of compounds from three classes: fatty acids, dimer acids, and polyester polyols. More specifically, the phase-stabilizing agents of the present invention comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of: PA1 (i) a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.5 to C.sub.28 fatty acid; PA1 (ii) a C.sub.20 to C.sub.54 dimer acid or trimer acid; or PA1 (iii) a polyester polyol having an average molecular weight of about 200 to about 6,500.
