| Environmental remarks | Although up to 15% material can be reused, this is normally no practice. | |
| Remarks | SMC is an abreviation for Sheet Molding Compound. This is a material composed of Styrene, Polyester, Glass fibre, a filler and some agents. SMC is delivered as sheet usually 4mm thick and 1500mm wide. It can be stored in a roll or folded prior to application. SMC must be used within weeks or some months depending of the formulation and storage conditions. For first class surface quality the galss content is limited to 30%. Continuous strands and woven rovings are also avoided to optimise surface quality | |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
