| Product Description | ||||
|
Menzolit® BMC 1000 is a bulk moulding compound based on unsaturated polyester resin. The product is glass fibre reinforced and contains mineral fillers. In case of fire the product doesn't melt, neither does it form droplets nor is smoke generation excessive. The material is injection moulded in heated steel moulds. It is recommended to work with chrome plated tools. The product contains no halogens.
Menzolit® BMC 1000 is a special BMC for hydrolysis resistant applications. The glass content is set to a level that provides sufficient mouldability with high strength and stiffness properties. Typical applications are components which are exposed to a humid environment. Housings, covers and functional components which are exposed to water or wet atmosphere, like in tropic countries or plant equipment, are typical examples for the use of this material. |
