High glass content parts

Compounds are available formulated on epoxy novolac-based resins and bisphenol epoxies. The latest bisphenol-A compounds offer high mechanical properties at a cost saving, in comparison with novolacs. Especially at glass contents of over 35 wt%, VE SMC offers advantages over isopolyester SMC. Under stress, SMC/BMC parts with low glass content show initiation at a higher elongation (2.2%) than equivalent... 

Plate-shaped GMT is a glass mat reinforced, flat, semifinished thermoplastic, which is mostly based on polypropylene that is processed using compression processes. The glass content depends on the requirements and is between 20 and 40 weight %. GMT components show a high impact resistance and stiffness with comparatively low weight. Molded parts made out of GMT are mostly used in the automobile industry for trim and carrier components in nonvisible areas. 

Applications of Poly(vinyl acetate) and Its Derivatives. Poly-(vinyl acetate) homopolymers and high-VA-content copolymers are mainly used as emulsions. They are part of many compounds due to their adhesive properties. They are also the main component of vinyl paints indeed, their glass transition temperature is close to ambient, and their adhesive properties are particularly well-fitted to this application.
