AOC has developed a unique carbon fiber reinforced SMC technology for automotive high volume manufacturing parts

November 02, 2021

Combining a unique Daron® resin from AOC with carbon fibers in SMC enables the reliable manufacture of components with superior mechanical strength, low density, E-coat capability and low emissions, while maintaining the design flexibility typical for composites. Luuk Groenewoud and Ron Verleg of AOC explain how the new CF-SMC has supported the development of structural automotive parts for the UK government funded research project TUCANA.

The Sheet molding compound (SMC) process has proven to be one of the most versatile production methods for composite components. It combines low waste production and high-volume capability with design freedom and integration of functions. For these reasons, SMC is broadly used for high volume manufacturing of strong, durable and lightweight composite components, with applications in the transportation, electrical, building and construction, and consumer markets.
