Its chemical and thermal resistance provides a competitive advantage for components exposed to harsh operating conditions.
Menzolit® BMC 1500 is formulated to deliver stable mechanical and thermal performance in critical environments. It can be processed through injection moulding in heated steel moulds, providing low shrinkage and high dimensional accuracy. The compound is halogen-free and maintains integrity at continuous service temperatures up to 190°C. Various packaging options are available, and it comes in limited colours.
* The technical parameters are average values. Depending on the formulation and customer requirements, different technical values may be achieved.
BMC 1500 should be processed in heated steel moulds at recommended injection temperatures. Use chrome-plated tools for the best results. The material is stable in storage when kept in styrene-tight bags in cardboard or wooden boxes. Technical support, including datasheets, testing and consultation, is available to optimise processing and design. Guidance on handling and troubleshooting ensures consistent part quality.
