SMC & BMC
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) offer a range of advantages for manufacturers seeking strong, lightweight, and versatile materials. Both materials are reinforced with glass fibers and thermosetting resins, providing excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation.
Maximise Your SMC & BMC Performance with Tailored Solutions.
SMC and BMC processing comes in many forms, with varying formulations, curing systems, and production conditions. Selecting the right additives to optimise performance can be complex—which is why we offer tailored solutions designed specifically for your recipe. By using one or a combination of our specialised additives, we create a custom blend that meets your exact processing and performance requirements. To help us identify the most suitable formulation and provide samples for trial, please complete the short questionnaire.
Thickening Pastes for SMC & BMC
Thinking of running some trials?
For optimal results in your SMC and BMC applications, we recommend starting with our MK35 NV thickening paste. With its medium reactivity and viscosity levels, MK35 NV offers a balanced starting point, ensuring consistent performance and ease of processing.
Based on your trial results, we’ll work with you to adjust the dosage, fine-tuning reactivity to meet your specific needs—whether that means slowing down or speeding up the curing process. Our flexible approach ensures you get the most out of your material, optimizing both efficiency and performance.
Let us help you achieve the highest quality results with a solution tailored to your unique requirements.
