Executive Summary In the construction market, materials must be strong, yet aesthetically appealing. Molding components from cost-effective thermoset Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) will save time and money. Some applications that are now made with thermoset composites include door skins, fencing, roofing, and window panels. Besides maintaining critical physical properties when under exposure to stressful conditions, many construction components must maintain an attractive appearance despite exposure to natural elements, drastic temperatures and harmful cleaning supplies over time. BMC provides dimensional stability and stain- and corrosion- resistance, and more cost-effectively than competing materials. |
