Executive Summary
Applications in the mission-critical power generation market are subject to extreme environmental conditions, including exposure to heat, corrosive liquids, and UV rays. Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) have proven to be effective materials that can withstand the test of time under harsh conditions. Thermosets provide excellent electrical resistance even during prolonged exposure to high temperatures, as well as providing dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and high strength-to-weight ratios. Utilized in pad and portable power generators for home, farm, construction, office use, oil fields, and power substations, BMC and SMC are becoming the product of choice for manufacturers because of their key materials properties. |
