Menzolit® SMC 0412

Menzolit® SMC 0412 is a sheet 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® SMC 0412 is a premium Class-A SMC for on-line painted conductive exterior body applications on cars. These compounds mould to parts with excellent surface quality and low surface conductivity for e-coating of on-line painted body panels. Therefore parts do not require priming with a conductive primer before e-coating. The moulded parts provide an excellent surface quality. Moulded parts comply with all regulations of the automotive industry including low C-emissions. Surface defects like waviness, fibre patterns and orange peel are not existent with this product. To achieve the highest surface quality, we recommend that tool surfaces are mirror polished. The excellent temperature resistance allows online painting at high bake temperatures (190- 200 °C). The parts show very good adhesion to paint or In Mould Coating (IMC). Because of its zero shrink properties warpage is eliminated and parts follow exactly the dimensions of the cold mould.
