Presentation by Dr. Sanghamitra Sircar, Global Product Manager – SMC, Owens Corning at JEC World 2016, March 8th, 2016, Paris. Videos: https://youtu.be/7CfwZODfOUg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjqJlnIm3V8 Discover the presentation on SlideShare: link is missing The presentation shows the SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) market numbers, growth drivers and opportunities around housing and construction, corrosion resistance, light weighting and emerging market applications. It displays Owens Corning glass reinforcement solutions (ME1975, ME1510, ME1958 rovings) and services that can help think material and design of composite applications without compromising on their performance. A case study describes composite lift gate material and design optimization. A video shows And a new flexible automated technology based on low pressure SMC and phenolic foam shows key benefits including recyclability, fire resistance, structural, insulated components, aesthetics and low maintenance, efficient installation.
