Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 2535 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 12,
Thermosetting materials.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 2535:1997), which has been revised to include four
variants of the original method, calibration procedures for the device used to determine the gel time (see clauses
A.2 and B.2) and precision data.
Annexes A and B form a normative part of this International Standard.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies methods of measuring, under defined conditions, the gel time at ambient
temperature (i.e. within the range 18 °Cto30 °C) of unsaturated-polyester resins.
The referee temperature, if needed, is 25 °C.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO 472 apply, together with the
following term and definition.
3.1
gel time at ambient temperature
the time which elapses between the end of the addition of an initiator to a resin and the moment when the viscosity
reaches 50 Pa�s
4Principle
The time required for a defined formula (resin, accelerator, initiator) at ambient temperature (within the range 18 °C
to 30 °C) to reach a viscosity of 50 Pa�s (the viscosity conventionally accepted as corresponding to the gel state) is
measured.

Four methods are specified:
Method A1 uses an automatic-release device (see annex A) in which a glass rod rotates in a resin mixture
contained in a test tube, and rotation of the glass rod is stopped automatically when a viscosity of 50 Pa�sis
reached.
