Sheet Molding Composite (SMC) or Sheet Molding Compound is known as a polyester material reinforced ready-to-mold fiberglass primarily used for compression molding. Sheets are supplied by the manufacturer in rolls weighing up to 1,000 kg. Resins are alternatively combined with related materials and can be mixed on site when manufacturers want better control over chemicals and fillers. It is made by dispersing long strands of chopped fibers, which are basically glass fibers or carbon fibers, in a bath of a thermosetting resin such as polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, or epoxy resin. The longer fibers present in SMC exhibit better strength properties than sheet and bulk molding compound (BMC) products. Typical applications for SMC include demanding electrical applications, corrosion protection requirements, low cost structural components, automotive and transportation. Bulk molding compounds are ready-to-form glass fiber reinforced thermoset polymer materials used for compression molding, along with injection molding and transfer molding.
