Menzolit® SMC 0200 provides consistent quality across production batches, supporting predictable moulding outcomes and reliable component performance. SMC 0200 is versatile for construction, electrical, energy, and industrial applications. Its halogen-free, fire-retardant composition meets essential safety standards. Low shrinkage and high stiffness ensure precise, durable parts, while compatibility with standard compression moulding enables efficient production.
Typical uses of SMC 0200 include:
- Electrical housings and covers
- Industrial enclosures and panels
- Energy equipment components
- Construction and functional structural parts
Menzolit SMC 0200 is well-suited for industries that require safe, durable, and fire-retardant components. Possible compliance with UL 94 HB and IEC 60707-3 glow wire standards ensures electrical safety. Its high mechanical strength and dimensional stability enable reliable and precise housings and panels. The compound supports construction, energy, industrial, and electrical applications where regulatory compliance and long-term performance are critical.
SMC 0200 combines low shrinkage with high stiffness and mechanical strength, making it ideal for precise component production. It is suitable for continuous service up to 165 °C, with excellent heat distortion resistance (>200 °C). The compound exhibits very low water absorption (<0.5%) and high electrical insulation (Surface resistivity: 10¹² Ω). Its balanced properties make it versatile for housings, covers and functional components.
* The technical parameters are average values. Depending on the formulation and customer requirements, different technical values may be achieved.
Menzolit SMC 0200 should be compression-moulded using heated steel moulds, preferably with chrome-plated tools. Maintain recommended temperature and pressure for optimal curing. Store in a dry environment.
