Carbkid® Fiber VE SMC is a polymer composite material reinforced with carbon fiber, which consists of a thermoset resin (usually vinylester or epoxy) and different additives that allow to obtain certain specific characteristics and improve the behavior of the material during the molding process of the final product. While the standard SMC is reinforced with glass fibers, the CSMC is reinforced with cut fibers or carbon fabrics. CSMC materials combine the low-weight characteristics offered by carbon composites in conjunction with a widespread forming process, such as compression molding, which allows for short manufacturing cycles and is therefore suitable for industrial applications in large series.
