SMC
Sheet Molding Compounds
SMC is a combination of long chopped glass strands, mineral fillers and liquid thermosetting resin in the form of a malleable sheet material. Processing of SMC of is typically done by compression or injection molding.
BMC
Bulk Molding Compounds
BMC is a combination of short chopped glass strands, mineral fillers and liquid thermosetting resin in the form of a bulk material. BMC is suitable for either compression or injection molding.
CIC
Continuous Impregnated Compound
Continuous Impregnated Compound (CIC) is a specific composite with appreciated characteristics. It is a thermoset composite material that can be molded through injection, injection-compression, and compression processes.
