SMC 2400 is a SMC with fire retardancy. The glass level has been selected to combine mouldability with strength and stiffness properties. The fire retardancy is especially high, and the material is virtually nonburnable. In case of fire smoke is released to a small extent. Smoke is, except for carbon monoxyde non-toxic! This makes SMC 2400 very suitable for railway interior or exterior applications, like wall panels, window frames, luggage bins, seat shells and structures or similar rail way components. Fire safe furniture or sanitary furniture on ships, trains or prison cells are another typical use. Within the electrical industry it is used for arc quenching chambers or switch gear components that are exposed to high power switching operations and resulting electrical arcs (peak loads of temperature and fire).Information Provided by Menzolit |
