Menzolit® SMC 0430

Menzolit® SMC 0430 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 highly recomended to mould in chrome plated moulds. The product contains no halogens nor any heavy metals.

Menzolit® SMC 0430 is a low emission Class-A SMC for on-line painted exterior body applications on passenger cars. These compounds mould to parts with excellent surface quality for on-line painted body panels at high paint bake temperatures (190- 200 °C). The parts have to be primed with a conductive primer before e-coating. In addition to the excellent surface quality that these parts provide they also are designed with a special matrix that allows drastically reduction of emissions, smell and fogging. 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 of Menzolit® SMC 0430 allows online painting at high bake temperatures (190- 200 °C). The parts show very good adhesion to paint or In Mould Coating (IMC).
