Weight reduction
SMC Composites can be up to 70 percent lighter than steel, which helps to easily replace a large number of metal parts.
Strength and stiffness
SMC materials provides ductility, durability and system cohesion. The fibers contribute to strength and stiffness.
Electrical performance
SMC Compounds retain excellent electrical properties, water absorption, and surface resistivity.
Fire retardance
SMC Materials have great fire retardance and low smoke generation is important for many applications and markets.
Precision Dimensions
The ability to compensate for shrinkage with special additives makes challenging designs & engineering parts feasible.
Composite Tiny Homes
A safer choice during a disaster or solutions of low-cost homes.
