COMPOUNDS.

BMC - SMC - TMC

Introduction.

Polynt is a leading Company in Europe in the manufacture of BMC, SMC and TMC compounds, with three production plants: Italy, Germany and Poland. The Company leadership is strengthed by the group synergies through their factories at San Giovanni Valdarno (I) and Niepolomice (PL), where polyester resins are produced. BMC-SMC-TMC are composed of unsaturated polyester or vinylester resin systems, mineral fillers, glass fibre reinforcements and technological additives. The above mentioned components can be formulated to optimise specific characteristics as required for the applications such as "Class A" for carbody panels, mechanical properties for structural parts, electrical properties for electromechanical or electronic applications and fire resistance for self-extinguishing applications. BMC and SMC, thanks to their ability to be modified, can be used in all sectors.

BMC (Bulk Moulding Compounds) Are produced in bulk and packaged in 10-15 kg. The fibre length ranges from 3 mm to 24 mm. BMCs are suitable to be used for injection moulding processes in order to reduce cycle times and improve surface aspects.

SMC (Sheet Moulding Compounds) Are supplied in sheet form 1350/1500 mm. Glass fibre length is 25 to 50 mm. Special formulas are available incorporating continuous fibre or fabric reinforcement. SMC products are generally manufactured by compression moulding, in order to obtain the highest mechanical properties. TMC (Thick Moulding Compounds) Are produced as thick sheets cut to size using 13 to 50 mm length glass fibre reinforcement. Specifically formulated for injection moulding in order to obtain high mechanical properties.

Why use our products to replace metal?

* Ecoprofile comparison for automotive part done in 40.000 p/y

BMC & SMC moulding eliminates the need for subsequent operations such as drilling and welding

BMC & SMC reduce the weight of the moulded parts (density 1.8 gr/ml)

BMC & SMC are thermostable materials

SMC & BMC are the ecological solution for today's requirement. All steel parts have the highest environmentally impact in raw material consumption, energy consumption and CO2 emission. The main reason is the higher fuel consumption caused by the higher weight.

The ecocompatible solution

The SMC shows the lowest raw material consumption, the lowest energy consumption, as well as the lowest emissions. The Fuel Consumption during the use of the vehicle has the biggest impact on the ecological foot print. * Source: European Alliance for SMC/BMC
