General Information
Product Description
BMC 501 molding compound is a mineral filled, glass-fiber-reinforced compound suitable for compression, transfer and stuffer injection molding. It provides the user with good electrical properties and extremely low water absorption. This product has a low mold shrinkage and resists the formation of internal voids normally associated with glass filled compounds. Typical applications include slip rings, brush holders and connector bases. BMC 501 molding compound is produced in extruded form in a range on industrial colors. It is available in logs up to 12 inches in length or as precut slugs, of specific weight, in diameters from 1" to 2 ½". Within this range, smaller diameters are supplied as multiple extrusions and weight tolerances are plus or minus 5% up to a maximum of plus or minus 15 grams.
