Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Unsaturated Polyester Resin Composite Water Collector

The water collector is operated in the humid and hot environment of the cooling tower all the year round. It also needs to carry part of the weight of water and silt. Therefore, it is particularly critical to optimize the material of the water collector and improve its mechanical properties. Polyester, a general term of polymer obtained from polyols and polyacids, is a kind of engineering plastics with excellent properties and wide applications. Glass fiber is a reinforced plastic reinforcement material, and the biggest characteristic of it is the high tensile strength and good heat resistance. In this paper, glass fiber reinforced polyester resin composite material is prepared, its tensile properties and bending properties are tested, and the performance of the imported material JK2020 B is compared and analyzed. The results show that the elastic modulus along the fiber direction is relatively high, but the interlayer force in the direction of thickness and width is very small. This review provides a guidance for production process.
