Composition and performance of BMC and SMC

Articles / By

SMC and BMC, as well as the following derivatives: TMC (thick molding compound), HPC (high performance compound), CIC (continuous impregnant) and AMC (molding compound), are fiber reinforced composites, which are mainly composed of thermosetting resin (usually up unsaturated polyester), reinforcing material (usually glass fiber) and inorganic filler. Common SMC formula Other components (such as low …
