General Information
Product Description

Menzolit® SMC 0390 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 0390 is a standard low profile SMC. Because of its low shrinkage, the material shows good surface quality as well as very low warpage. The product is suitable for applications if a better surface quality is necessary that can not be achieved with low shrink material. Because of the low shrinkage, tool design is more difficult and the user should take care for proper part demoulding. Typical applications are furniture, telephone boothes, business machines and housings or covers that call for improved surface quality and dimensional stability. Because of this painting may be desired. Paint adhesion of appropriate paint systems is very good. Chromeplating of punch and cavity surfaces is recommended.
