BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) and SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) thermoset composites meet the requirements of the railway industry, regarding low smoke emission and flammability rates, making them ideal for metro, commuter shuttles and trains.
These thermoset composite materials provide superior electrical insulation and thermal resistance, allowing them to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and high voltages common in rail transportation applications.
Applications for BMC and SMC in the rail transportation market include:
Third rail insulator
Seat frames
Communication tags
Contactors
Train transoms
Traction motor brush holder
Thermoset composite materials have CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) values that exceed 600 volts and a dielectric strength above 15 kv/mm.
Thanks to their excellent thermal properties, BMC and SMC materials are an ideal choice for the insulation needs of the rail transportation industry.
