In this investigation, the use of a fibre product recycled from sheet molding compound (SMC) as reinforcement in a resin transfer molded (RTM) material is addressed. The recycled fiber product considered, Phoenix Fibreglass CSX, is a post-industrial recyclate from the Phoenix pilot facility and reflects the state of the Phoenix process in July, 1993. The Budd slurry process was used to manufacture constant-weight recycled preforms with recycled contents by weight ranging from 0 % to 100 %. Additional virgin slurry preforms were manufactured at three different glass weight percentages for comparison purposes. Comparing a variety of virgin and recycled property data for composites with slurried preforms, the results consistently show property degradation, proportional to the recycled fiber content, for the recyclate-containing materials. However, the performance of slurried-preform composites with recyclate is comparable to that from virging preforms made from non-slurry processes at total recyclate contents in the material by weight up to at least 10 %.
