We process a variety of thermoset molding compounds (SMC/BMC). These are a matrix of polyester resin with reinforcing fibers and fillers.
The different SMC and BMC are selected according to the individual requirements of the components.
The special feature of thermosets is their high degree of interlacing after curing. The interlaced sites can no longer be melted after the reaction.

The interaction of the reinforcing fibers contained, such as glass, carbon or natural fibers and various fillers as well as additives, gives the components their individual properties.

ADVANTAGES OF GLASS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOSETS:

• High mechanical strength
• High stiffness
• Significantly lower weight compared to metal
• Highest fire protection class
• High dielectric strength / high resistivity (electrically insulating)
• Thermal insulating
• Colorable
• Non-magnetic

What is SMC?

Sheet Moulding Compounds are flat semi-finished products whose reinforcing fibers are in mat or woven form and whose typical fiber length is between 25 and 75 mm. SMC is usually processed by hot pressing.

What is BMC?

Bulk Moulding Compounds are dough-like semi-finished products whose reinforcing fibers used are shorter than those of SMC. They are usually processed by injection molding.
