Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a type of reinforced thermoplastic material used in the production of plastic parts. It is composed of a thermoset resin, such as polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy, and a reinforcing material, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, or aramid fibers. The resin and reinforcing material are combined and formed into a sheet, which is then cut into the desired shape and molded into the desired part. SMC is used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, and medical. SMC offers several advantages over other types of plastics, such as improved strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. It is also lightweight and cost-effective, making it an attractive option for many industries. Additionally, SMC can be easily molded into complex shapes, allowing for the production of intricate parts. Some of the major companies in the SMC market include BASF, Owens Corning, SGL Group, and Toray Industries. Show Less Read more
