There are three types of BMC molding processes: injection, transfer, and compression. Each of these molding processes are dependent on the type of product you have. BMC or Bulk molding compound conform to the mold form by pressure and heat being applied until a reaction happens. BMC is a thermoset plastic made up of a polymer resin, various inert fillers, fiber reinforcement, and much more.
Mar-Bal, the One-Source Solutions provider, prepares advanced materials to develop products for success for BMC thermoset composites. Let’s breakdown the BMC molding processes:
