It is obtained by reinforcing thermoset or thermoplastic resins with added resin-added materials with fiber reinforcements (glass, carbon, aramid, etc.) or filling materials and subjecting this mixture to a certain process, and then hardening. product.
Composite products in Turkey still have a very small share when compared to European, North American and Asian countries. The use of composites in these countries ranges from industrial, semi-industrial processes to new molding techniques and even integrated production levels. reached.

ADVANTAGES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Lightness:The composite is very light when mixed with most metal and wood materials.
Durability:It is much more durable when mixed with aluminum and steel. Composite materials are designed to be both durable and lightweight. Today, it is the material with the highest strength ratio compared to weight.
Corrosion Resistant: Composites are resistant to climate and intense chemicals that consume/melt other materials. Suitable for weather and variable temperature difference.
High Impact Resistance: Composites are resistant to sudden bird and explosion impacts.
Design Aesthetics: It is possible to mold complex shapes with composite materials compared to most metals.
Dimensional Stability: Composite materials retain their current shape when wet or dry, hot or cold. For example, wood can expand or harden with changes in air humidity. Composite materials are therefore a much better solution for full-size locations and spaces that should not be variable.
Hot Press Molding: Press molding is the method that has the most usage area among the hot press molding methods of SMC BMC products. SMC is generally the sheeted form of chopped glass fiber and polyester resin. The main additives are thermoset, resins, fiberglass and fillers. In order to obtain high product performance during the processing of the material, different materials such as hardeners, substances that provide fluidity and thickeners are also used.
BMC, the material is thermoset resins, glass fiber and filling materials. As in SMC, in BMC, it is possible to increase the performance of the material when hardeners, thickeners and demoulding agents that provide fluidity are used. Generally shorter glass fiber is used in BMC than SMC. Production time is done by hot pressing method just like SMC.
