What is SMC?

SMC is a flat sheet-like compound manufactured by spreading long strands of chopped glass fiber & under-saturated polyester/phenolic/vinyl & acrylic modified resins to produce a high-strength moulding compound. SMC material is used in the compression moulding process. SMCs are generally used to mould parts in complex shapes. This thermoset material is suitable for making automotive parts, high-strength electrical parts, corrosion resistance needs, and various structural components because of its outstanding capabilities, surface appearance, and electrical insulation. SMC is normally supplied in rolls, which are split into smaller pieces called "charges". Compression moulding is a procedure that uses heat and pressure to create anything from basic shapes to complex mould products.
