Shorter glass fibers lessen the structure reinforcement which creates a putty like injection molding compound perfect for precision high performance applications.
Glass fiber sheet moulding.
Core molding technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound and a molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics.
Compression molding uses sheet molding compound smc bulk molding compound bmc or carbon fiber in a thermoset process to produce greater a strength to weight ratio over steel and aluminum parts.
Sheet molding compound smc is a compression molding compound often used for larger parts where higher mechanical strength is needed.
Sheet moulding compound or sheet moulding composite is a ready to mould glass fibre reinforced polyester material primarily used in compression moulding.
Bmc is also dielectric flame resistant and corrosion resistant.
Alternatively the resin and related materials may be mixed on site when a producer wants greater control over the chemistry and filler.
A fiber is a strand that is equal to the length of the pellet.
The technical products that core develops serve a variety of markets and end use applications.
The addition of glass fibers also affects the molding process.
Glass reinforcement is between 10 and 60 and glass length is slightly longer than bulk molding compound bmc between 1 2 inch and 1 inch 25mm.
Glass filled resins at protolabs include.
Smc is a fiber reinforced thermoset material.
