  • Synergistic filler compositions and low density sheet molding compounds therefrom
    Publication number: 20060252869
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to resin formulations for sheet molding compounds. Particularly, but not by way of limitation, the disclosure relates to low-density thermosetting sheet molding compounds (SMC) comprising a treated inorganic clay, a thermosetting resin, a low profile agent, a reinforcing agent, a low-density filler, and substantially the absence of calcium carbonate. The thermosetting SMC are used to prepare exterior and structural thermoset articles, e.g. auto parts and panels, etc that have Class A Surface Quality.
