BMC 0390 provides excellent dimensional stability due to its low shrinkage formulation. It allows consistent colour and surface finish for light-coloured parts. The material is injection moulded in heated steel moulds, ensuring precision and repeatability. It is safe to handle, halogen-free and suitable for electrical, energy, industrial and sanitary applications.
Ideal for functional components with light colours:
- Electrical housings and covers
- Industrial equipment parts
- Sanitary fittings and appliances
- Energy sector components
- Overmolding of electronic components
The product meets industry requirements for low-profile, dimensionally stable components. Its minimal shrinkage ensures tight tolerances in electrical and industrial applications. UL 94 HB and glow wire 750°C ratings align with electrical safety standards. Glass fibre reinforcement provides the mechanical strength required in sanitary and energy applications.
BMC 0390 is designed for precise, high-quality injection moulding with low shrinkage and consistent surface finish. It maintains performance under continuous service up to 165°C and heat distortion above 200°C. Mechanical and electrical properties make it suitable for multi-industry use. Available in all colours with standard packaging and optional customised solutions.
* The technical parameters are average values. Depending on the formulation and customer requirements, different technical values may be achieved.
Processing guidance includes injection moulding in heated steel moulds with chrome-plated tools for optimal performance. Material handling and storage in styrene-tight bags ensures shelf life and safety. Technical support is available for datasheets, consultations and testing. Design and troubleshooting tips are provided to achieve low-shrink, light-colour components consistently.
