Compression Molding and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) – An Overview
A composite material made from glass-fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester resin. A mainstay in various industries since the 1960s due to its excellent electrical properties.
The production of SMC follows a continuous belt process, involving chopped multi-end roving strands, resin paste, and a compaction system.
A key technique in high-volume composite part production, often used with Sheet Molding Composite (SMC) and Bulk Molding Composite (BMC). Known for crafting robust, intricate components of diverse sizes.
SMC is a thermoset material, with irreversible cross-linking materials, forming the basis for its unique technical performance.
SMC offers several benefits over traditional metals, including thermal resistance, fire retardancy, precision, weight reduction, and excellent electrical performance.
SMC finds applications in various sectors, including electrical & electronics, automotive, appliances, building & construction, energy, wastewater, transportation, medical devices, military & aerospace, and lighting.
