The curing characteristics of polyester under pressure affect the processing and molded properties of reinforced polyester molding compounds. In this paper, the kinetics of curing of polyester under pressure were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Based on the results thus obtained, the author discusses the effects of reactive diluent, pressure, low‐profile agent, filler, and thickening on the curing of polyester.
