Complete cure of thermosets in the mould may necessitate a long period of time, and is therefore costly. On the other hand, the temperature throughout the thermoset sample is rather high at the time of its extraction from the mould. The process of cure can be described by numerical models, not only

The process of cure has been studied for a loaded maleic polyester resin. Experiments were carried out by using a metal mould heated by silicone oil. A numerical model was built in order to describe the process and it was tested. The model based on a numerical method with finite differences takes in
gelcoat made of pure unsaturated polyester and deposited on the surface of a loaded polyester is studied. The problem of the cure of a gelcoat is considered by taking into account heat evolved from the cure reaction, heat transferred by conduction through the resin and support and heat convection on
