  • Method of priming SMC parts
    Patent number: 6541076
    Abstract: A method of priming a sheet molding compound (SMC) part. The method includes applying a photopolymerizable priming composition to a surface of the SMC part. The priming composition includes a polymerizable component, a photoinitiating component, and a conductive component. The method also includes irradiating the priming composition with light to initiate a polymerization reaction. The priming composition polymerizes on the SMC part substantially without releasing volatile solvents.
