SMC offer lower weight and toughness compared to ceramic parts, and better pigmentability than phenolic moulding materials. SMC provides an ideal combination of chemical resistance, mechanical strength, electrial insulation and heat resitance.

Dimensional accuracy is maintained over a wide range of temperatures, which, combined with high strength and good creep resitance, make SMC/BMC ideal for switchgear, machine bases, street light canopies, cabinets, housings and other demanding applications.
