| Product Description | ||||
|
Menzolit® BMC 1100 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 compression moulded in heated steel moulds. It is recommended to work with chrome plated tools. The product contains no halogens.
Menzolit® BMC 1100 is a special BMC for high strength application. The glass content is set to a level that provides sufficient mouldability with high strength and stiffness properties. The selection of the resin and glass fibres provide good properties at high mechanical loads even if they are cyclic or impact like. The fire retardancy level HB according to the UL 94 is achieved. Typical applications are functional components for the automotive industry and chemical engineering. The material is especially suited for highly loaded or fast moving components. |
