COMMERCIAL VEHICLE

menzolit® compounds for Commercial Vehicles

One of most well-known, highest volume applications of SMC is body panels for commercial vehicles. High rigidity of large parts without the need for additional mechanical support, low investment costs (one tool – one piece), integration of different functions and elements, excellent paintability and surface quality, low weight and complex shapes possible – these are the main advantages of SMC- making it an indispensable material for the truck and commercial vehicle industry.

ELECTRICAL

menzolit® compounds for Electrical industry

The Electrical industry was the first and most traditional application field for SMC and BMC. Due to the excellent insulation properties, high fire protection level, good mechanical and thermal resistivity and optimal cost–performance ratio, these materials cover a large range of applications including electrical cabinets, lighting housings, low and medium voltage devices, etc. High productivity, with cycle times below 30 seconds and multi-cavity tools, guarantees low production costs and high quality of the final products.
