SMC 0390 is a standard low profile SMC. Because of its low shrinkage, the material shows good surface quality as well as very low warpage. The product is suitable for applications if a better surface quality is necessary that can not be achieved with low shrink material. Because of the low shrinkage, tool design is more difficult and the user should take care for proper part demoulding. Typical applications are furniture, telephone boothes, business machines and housings or covers that call for improved surface quality and dimensional stability. Because of this painting may be desired. Paint adhesion of appropriate paint systems is very good. Chrome-plating of punch and cavity surfaces is recommended.Information Provided by Menzolit |
