 MC
is a combination of chopped glass strands and filled polyester resin,
in the form of a sheet.
Processing of SMC by compression or injection molding enables the
production of bodywork or structural automotive components and electrical
or electronic machine housings in large industrial volumes. The process
also penetrates sectors such as sanitary ware (baths) and urban furniture
(stadium and cinema seating), etc. |

The prepreg includes all the components needed
for molding the final part (resin, reinforcement, filler, catalyst,
low profile additives, etc.) in a malleable and non-tacky sheet. Its
characteristics allow it to fill a mold under the effects of the molding
temperature and pressure.
SMC prepreg is made from glass strands chopped to lengths of 25 or
50mm, sandwiched between two layers of film, onto which the resin
paste has already been applied. The prepreg passes through a compaction
system that ensures complete strand impregnation before being wound
into rolls. These are stored for a few days before molding to allow
the prepreg to thicken to a moldable viscosity.
