Quantum Composites AMC™ 8595 55% Carbon Fiber Reinforced Vinyl Ester SMC
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composite; Composite SMC; Vinyl Ester; Vinyl Ester Sheet Molding Compound
Material Notes:	AMC™ 8595 is a vinyl ester engineered structural composite molding compound with continuous, unidirectional carbon fibers. It is designed for compression molding of components requiring high structural strength, light weight, and stiffness. It can also be co-molded with other ESC molding compounds such as AMC™ 8590 to provide stiffening in selected areas of the component. Form = Rolled Sheet Color = Natural, Black Carbon Fiber Content = 55% nominal Carbon Fiber Length = Continuous Areal Weight = 1129 g/m² A. Schulman has acquired Quantum Composites.
