SMC roving, the multiend roving for Sheet Molding
Compound(SMC), is produced from a collection of continuous
glass filaments gathered, without mechanical twisting into a
single bundle. The filaments, which make up the bundles, are
bonded together with a special size. Multiple bundles are then
pulled together to form a strand which is wound into a tubeless
package ready for use in customer application. SMC roving is
compatible with unsaturated polyester resin and vinyl ester
resin. It is mainly used for automotive exterior body panels
with Class A surface, recreational vehicle housings, automotive
and recreational semi-structural applications, water-tank
panels and business equipment.
