Recently, even if structural materials have been increasingly replaced due to the growth in science technology, we can not provide our demand and the development of structural materials involved the increase of waste articles for convenient life. Therefore on this research, we are making polyester mortar by using waste PET and flyash not only for the recycling but for the possibility of applying to the floor and construction materials. The two types of unsaturated polyester resins are made by the reaction or waste PET, aliphaticdiol and unsaturated diacids and then these made into polyester mortar with filler. We compared these mortars with such as polyester and epoxy in terms of mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of the PET-flyash mortar do not inferior to the general floor materials. For example, compressive strength and tensile properties are better than epoxy mortar. The synthetic method of polyester resins are affecting mechanical properties, in the case of rigid resin, compressive and tensile properties are enough to use but friction coefficient tends to be a little bit lower.
