Product Description
QC-8804 is a vinyl ester based sheet molding compound (SMC) designed for compression molding of components requiring high structural strength. It exhibits unusual toughness, and is suggested for applications subject to impacts and rough handling. QC-8804 is also suggested for applications requiring excellent fatigue resistance. It incorporates short glass fibers for ease of transfer molding.
