Kitchens and Baths
Thermoset composite bulk molding compound (BMC) and sheet molding compound (SMC) are rapidly replacing metals as the material of choice for kitchen and bath components for a variety of reasons, including the rising cost of metals, cosmetic appeal, corrosion-resistance, and stain-resistance. Typical applications for BMC/SMC materials include:
  • Countertops
  • Table tops
  • Appliance components
  • Warming trays
  • Faucet bodies
  • Dishwasher parts
  • Microwave and oven parts
Thermoset composites offer design and cosmetic opportunities not available with many metals and ceramics. The material is solid but lightweight, resistant to damage, and can be molded in color. And, by converting to single-molded thermoset BMC or SMC, manufacturers can provide their customers with products that are void of normal cracks and seams, improving their cleanliness and appearance.
