2. Resin casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_casting

   Alternately, resin casting may be accomplished with a resin plus a nearly equal amount of a "hardener" liquid (as in many epoxy resin or polyester resin systems), which functionally contains a second polymer, for use in forming a final product plastic which is a copolymer. Copolymers contain two different alternating chemical entities in the ...

3. Gelcoat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelcoat

   Gelcoats are modified resins which are applied to moulds in the liquid state. They are cured to form crosslinked polymers and are subsequently backed with thermoset polymer matrix composites which are often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass, or epoxy resin which is most commonly used with carbon fibre for higher specific strength.

4. Fiberglass molding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass_molding

   The mold is a negative image of the component to be made, so the fiberglass will be applied inside the mold, rather than around it. As in the mold-making process, release agent is first applied to the mold. Colored gelcoat is then applied. Layers of fiberglass are then applied, using the same procedure as before.

5. Fiberglass spray lay-up process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass_spray_lay-up...

   The difference comes from the application of the fibre and resin material to the mould. Spray-up is an open-moulding composites fabrication process where resin and reinforcements are sprayed onto a reusable mould. The resin and glass may be applied separately or simultaneously "chopped" in a combined stream from a chopper gun.

6. Bulk moulding compound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_moulding_compound

   The mixing is done at room temperature and stored at low temperatures to slow down curing prior to molding. The concentration of the mixture can vary depending on application, but is typically 30% glass fibers, 25% filler, and 45% resin, styrene, and initiator. [2] The material is provided in bulk or in logs approximately 4" in diameter.

7. Sheet moulding compound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_moulding_compound

   Sheet moulding compound (SMC) or sheet moulding composite is a ready to mould glass-fibre reinforced polyester material primarily used in compression moulding. [1] The sheet is provided in rolls weighing up to 1000 kg. Alternatively the resin and related materials may be mixed on site when a producer wants greater control over the chemistry and ...
