Glass Fiber Sheet Moulding

Compression molding uses sheet molding compound smc bulk molding compound bmc or carbon fiber in a thermoset process to produce greater a strength to weight ratio over steel and aluminum parts.

Glass fiber sheet moulding.

Glass filled resins at protolabs include. The addition of glass fibers also affects the molding process. Sheet molding compound smc is a compression molding compound often used for larger parts where higher mechanical strength is needed. This is manufactured by dispersing long strands of chopped fiber commonly glass fibers or carbon.

Glass reinforcement is between 10 and 60 and glass length is slightly longer than bulk molding compound bmc between 1 2 inch and 1 inch 25mm. A fiber is a strand that is equal to the length of the pellet. Alternatively the resin and related materials may be mixed on site when a producer wants greater control over the chemistry and filler. Bmc is also dielectric flame resistant and corrosion resistant.

Smc is both a process and reinforced composite material. Smc is a fiber reinforced thermoset material. Core molding technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound and a molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The technical products that core develops serve a variety of markets and end use applications.

Sheet moulding compound or sheet moulding composite is a ready to mould glass fibre reinforced polyester material primarily used in compression moulding. The sheet is provided in rolls weighing up to 1000 kg.
