Formulation and process for compression molded component parts

摘要

A formulation for controlling the thickening profile for sheet molding compositions to a lower viscosity for use in low pressure molding conditions is provided. The B side addition of a modified alkaline earth oxide thickening system using a combination of oxides results in a sheet molding compound that is tack free at lowered viscosities. These sheet molding compounds exhibit extended shelf lives, good flowability, and excellent handling characteristics.
