(1) The product design has a high degree of flexibility and freedom. Design engineers can easily design various sizes and shapes according to their own needs, display their rich imagination within a limited range, and display them on the vehicle model or sample vehicle in a short time.
(2) High strength according to different technical requirements, different SMC formulas can be designed to obtain parts with different performance requirements and meet the needs of different parts. It can replace aluminum and steel.
(3) It is light and its relative density is generally 1.3-2. SMC with the same volume is lighter than steel and aluminum, which can effectively reduce the dead weight of the vehicle.
(4) Corrosion resistance is one of the disadvantages of corrosion-resistant steel, and SMC material has good corrosion resistance and does not decay or rust.
(5) SMC molded parts can integrate parts. Many disparate parts can be combined as needed. The mold design considers one-time forming, which simplifies the processing process and equipment, shortens the processing cycle and saves investment.
(6) Dimensional stability: various low shrinkage agents can be added to SMC formula, and low shrinkage resins can be used to maintain dimensional stability and original shape of SMC products in a wide temperature range.
(7) Hand pasted products have a beautiful appearance and are easy to apply. Generally, one side is smooth, and SMC products are smooth on both sides. Different pigments can be directly added into the resin paste according to the formula to make plates of various colors. After forming, products of various colors can be obtained. In addition, it can be completed through post-processing.
(8) Good electrical insulation and low tangent dielectric loss.
(9) The thermal deformation temperature is much higher than that of ordinary thermoplastic, which can be baked at the same time with the steel body.
(10) Good impact performance, can be used at -40 ℃.
(11) The aging resistance is better than that of ordinary thermoplastic, and the service life is more than 15 years.
