General Information
Product Description

Menzolit® SMC 1100 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 nor heavy metals.

Menzolit® SMC 1100 is a special vinylester SMC for high strength applications. The reinforcement has been put to a level that combines mouldability with high strength and stiffness properties. The specific resin and a higher amount of glass fibers results in high mechanical strength. Durability is improved as well. Even without a specific fire retardant, the fire retardancy level HB according UL 94 is achieved. Typical applictions are structural components within the automotive industry or mechanical engineering. It is suitable for load carrying applications or fast moving and accelerated components.
