Sheet Molding And Bulk Molding Compound Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)
Sheet Molding & Bulk Molding Compounds Market Overview: Global Sheet Molding & Bulk Molding Compounds Market is anticipated to reach $3.2 billion by 2020. Sheet Molding Compounds are fiber reinforced polyester or vinylester materials. These are manufactured by the dispersion of long strands of chopped fiber (glass fibers or carbon fibers) on a bath of thermoset resin (polyester resin or vinyl ester resin or epoxy resin). Sheet Molding Compounds are compression molding compounds which are often used in the parts where higher mechanical strength is needed. Sheet Molding Compounds are a mixture of polymer resins, inert fillers, fiber reinforcements, catalysts, pigments and stabilizers, release agents, and thickeners. These possess strong dielectric properties. Bulk Molding Compounds are highly filled and reinforced with short fibers. Bulk molding compounds are glass-fiber reinforced thermoset polyester or vinylester materials. Bulk Molding Compounds are produced by mixing stran
