Some high volume applications require the SMC to be supplied in jumbo rolls weighing up to 1,300 Kg. Mould charges are not weighed meaning that the area weight of the SMC (Kg/m2) must be very consistent. In order to help prevent jumbo rolls from distorting carrier films with very low tensile modulus are employed. Monomide film was co-developed with a leading European film manufacturer specifically for these applications.

Monomide film is based on nylon 6 with release additives and is oriented in the machine direction which gives amazing physical properties - at just 19µ thick Monomide film has up to 3 times higher tensile modulus than normal coex SMC films.
