Why SMC Glass Reinforced Composites?

Durability
SMC parts offer superior mechanical and surface appearance. SMC benefits offers very high volume production ability, excellent part reproducibility, and is cost effective due to low labor requirements and reduced scrap production. SMC structures made of composites have a long life and need little maintenance. Composites are corrosion resistant with matrices and binders that prevent environmental attack on fibers and increase resistance to corrosive environments.

Performance
Composites combine high strength and low weight, are non-corrosive and have thermal and electrical insulation properties.

Excellent Cosmetic Finish
Composites can be designed with a high level of surface detail. Parts can be offered in various thickness either coated with high gloss gel coats or with a paintable surface.

Selection Guidelines

Moderate to high production volumes 5,000 – 100,000 parts/year
Consistent controlled thickness & cross sectional tolerances of +/- .2mm
Large structurally reinforced parts requiring two-sided finish
