BMC (Bulk Molding Compound), SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and MMC (Mineral Molding Compound) take more and more the place of metals.
The properties of these composite materials such as attractive appearance, stain and corrosive resistance, dimensional control, and the metals price increase, make thermoset composite materials a good choice for kitchen and bath components.
Some specific applications for BMC, SMC et MMC materials :
- bar
- worktop
- hotplate
- plumbing
- dishwasher components
- oven and microwave components
- plate
- sink, washbasin, shower tray
Converting to thermoset composite materials enables to maintain an attractive appearance unlike metals and ceramics.
Thermoset compounds are strong but light, resistant, and can be molded in different colors or aspects.
BMC, SMC, or MMC materials enable manufacturers to have a single molded part without cracks and joints, and improve their cleanness and their attractive appearance.
