General Information
Product Description

Menzolit® BMC 1400 is a bulk 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 injection moulded in heated steel moulds. It is recommended to work with chrome plated tools. The product contains no halogens nor any heavy metals.

Menzolit® BMC 1400 is a special BMC for the use on an engine. The glass content is set to a level that combines good mouldability with good strength and stiffness properties. The product has been developped fot high resistance against gasoline, lubricants, cooling agents or cleaning agents that are used around an automotive engine. Because of its resin matrix it is especially resistant to cyclic loads under elevated temperature. Typical applications are valve covers, gear box covers, carburator housings, or housings for auxiliary motors.
