BMC/SMC
Glass Reinforced Thermoplastic Molding
Molded Materials
BMC/SMC
BMC (Bulk Molding Compounds)/SMC (Sheet Molding Compounds) are used in applications which require:
  • Dimensional Stability
  • High Modulus
  • Good Physical Properties
  • High Heat Distortion Temperatures
  • Good Impact Strength
  • Good Surface Quality
  • Excellent Dielectric Strength
  • Low Water Absorption
  • Good Corrosion Resistance
  • Flame Retardant
 
BMC/SMC Compounds can be formulated to maximize the above qualities to meet part design parameters
The low cost of BMC/SMC materials makes them excellent choices in applications including electrical insulators, bodies of lights or head lamps, heat shields, stand-offs or spacers, appliance exteriors where heat is a factor and under hood automotive applications.
BMC can be compression and injection molded. BMC injection molding has emerged as a high speed precision method of molding.
SMC/BMC can be compounded from epoxy,, vinylester and polyester resin systems. Glass content can be varied from 10 to 70 percent by weight to meet you engineering requirements.
