Brands in Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC)

Based on GMT, the composite GMTex® has been further developed for applications demanding high impact resistance, strength and durability. In the production of these high-performance thermoplastic composites, the basic materials of polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA) are reinforced with woven and randomly laid fibers (multi-layer glass fiber technology).

SymaLITE is the name given to its special lightweight composites. These Low Weight Reinforced Thermoplastics (LWRT) make up a product group of special lightweight plastic composites with low thermal expansion and excellent mechanical and physical properties. The mixed glass and polymer fiber fleeces produced in special textile processes are supplied as rolls and boards and can be cost-efficient further-converted into three-dimensional components by low-pressure molding. The ultra-light, freely shapeable SymaLITE thermoplastic is noise-absorbent and can be faced directly with functional and decorative cover layers without adhesives having to be used. This eliminates an entire production step.
