Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) is a process intermediate manufactured from unsaturated polyester resin, mineral fillers, and short glass fibers. Various sectors in the industries are producing parts by using high pressure moulding technology. This technology is also used by SMC/FRP Junction Box manufacturers that are producing electric junction box.
High precision parts made of SMC material can operate in the -30 to 200°C temperature range. It is a versatile composite material for industries such as-
1. Automotive
Automotive parts manufacturers are making several components like bumpers, rubbing strips, and protectors, body panels, and beams with SMC material. Truck parts like cabins, foot plates, and deflectors are also made with SMC. They avail several benefits like-
Sometimes manufacturers also use SMC Low Profile (LP) for painted components.
2. Electrical industry
Electrical industry uses SMC material to make boxes, low and medium voltage insulators, waterproof light fixtures, insulating parts for electrical devices and more. Benefits of using SMC material in electrical industry-
3. Railways
Railways parts like seat frames, cable trunking, window frames, partitions, etc. are made of SMC material. Various benefits of using SMC in railways:
Unlike thermoplastics, SMC material never melts and produces lesser smoke and ash in a fire situation.
4. Building industry
Building and construction sector uses SMC to produce windows, cladding panels, roofing, street furniture, gratings, etc. Various benefits of using SMC for building and construction industry are-
Since SMC is lightweight material, it can be installed in faster and economical way as compared to steel or concrete parts.
Electrical industry is using SMC material to make SMC/FRP Junction Box and electric junction box. You can read their features and technical specifications below.
