SMC/BMC
Bulk Molding Compounds (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compounds
(SMC) are both fiber reinforced materials, typically utilizing
glass strand fibers of varying lengths.
SMC
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a high-strength and lightweight material composed of chopped glass fibers, thermosetting resins (such as polyester or vinyl ester), and various additives. SMC is typically manufactured through a compression molding process, where the mixture is compressed under heat and pressure to form flat sheets or complex shapes.
BMC
Like SMC, Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) is also a thermosetting composite composed of chopped glass fibers, thermosetting resins (commonly polyester or vinyl ester), and various fillers and additives.
BMC differs from SMC in terms of its consistency and processing method. BMC has a higher resin content, which gives it a paste-like or dough-like consistency, making it more suitable for injection molding or transfer molding processes. This characteristic allows BMC to be molded into intricate shapes and complex geometries with high precision, making it a preferred choice for electrical and electronic components, household appliances, and industrial parts.
