Product Overview

SMC products is an advanced fiber-reinforced composite made from glass fiber and thermosetting resin such as unsaturated polyester or vinyl ester. It is widely recognized for its combination of strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. These properties make SMC one of the most reliable materials for manufacturing sanitary products, automotive exterior components, battery covers, building panels, and other structural applications.

Product Functions and Features

SMC materials deliver exceptional mechanical properties, including high stiffness, bending strength, and impact resistance. Components molded from SMC can withstand heavy loads, vibration, and external shocks while maintaining their shape and structural stability. The material’s lower density compared to steel or aluminum also enables lightweight designs, reducing transportation costs and energy consumption in applications such as automotive panels and large building components.

Another key advantage is its superior corrosion and chemical resistance. SMC resists water, acids, alkalis, and salt spray, making it suitable for outdoor and humid environments such as bathroom fixtures, doors, and exterior architectural panels. It also offers excellent dimensional stability with low shrinkage during molding, ensuring precise assembly and a consistent fit across products.

Specifications and Performance

Typical SMC performance parameters include a density of 1.7–2.0 g/cm³, tensile strength of 80–150 MPa, flexural strength of 150–250 MPa, and heat distortion temperature above 200 °C. These properties can be adjusted through resin formulations, glass fiber content, and filler additives to meet different performance requirements. SMC also provides Class A surface finishes that support painting, coloring, or texture replication for aesthetic or decorative needs.

Usage and Applications

SMC products are used in a wide range of industries. In sanitary ware, they provide durable, crack-resistant bathtubs and washbasins. In the automotive sector, SMC forms strong, lightweight panels and battery covers. In building and construction, it is used for wall panels, doors, and facades that withstand harsh weather conditions. SMC’s electrical insulation and flame retardancy also make it ideal for power equipment housings and energy storage systems.

Target Customers

SMC products are ideal for automotive manufacturers, sanitary ware producers, construction material suppliers, and electrical equipment companies seeking high-performance, cost-effective, and durable material solutions. Its balance of mechanical strength, lightweight design, and environmental resistance ensures SMC remains a preferred choice across modern industrial applications.
