Why... low pressure-low temperature process?
• Time to Market (Typically 50% faster than other methods)
• Cost (one-third of the cost of Kirksite or Aluminum)
• Product Dimensions (offers better stability than other methods)
• Replicates Physical Properties of normal SMC
• Product Testing (full DVRP Capable)
• Surface Quality Superior to Kirksite (Cavity Porosity)
• Product Adhesion (Equal to typical SMC)
