General Information
Product Description

Menzolit® SMC 0290 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 0290 is a specially formulated SMC processable by injection moulding. The gentle production process prevents the fiber from any damage. Parts made of SMC 0290 reach higher levels of strength and stiffness than BMC types. Thus, the material is favoured in those fields of application where BMC doesn't meet the demands regarding mechanical properties. SMC 0290 is serialized with a flammability of category V0 according to UL 94. Yellow Card is available for any tone! The glass content is on a level that combines good mouldability with good mechanical properties regarding strength and stiffness.
