Passenger Cars, Trucks, Agricultural Vehicles
For designing body and structural parts used in cars, trucks, and other vehicles, engineers have been using SMC and BMC formulations already for many years. With formulations that bring Class-A surface capability and paintability, lightweight, high mechanical strength, or a combination of these, customers can create parts with unique shapes, excellent surface aesthetics, and high functional integration. The lightweight nature of SMC and BMC makes them highly competitive compared to steel and aluminum, supporting reduced fuel emissions through weight reduction.
Typical applications
- Light weight body panels for passenger cars
- Lighting systems, headlamp reflectors and LED lighting
- Structural parts, front ends
- Interior dashboard parts
- Body panels for trucks and agricultural vehicles
- Under the hood components (incl. noise shields, rocker covers, oil sumps)
- Battery covers for electrical vehicles
The SMC BMC Alliance has defined multiple SMC and BMC standard product profiles, which provide you with a clear overview of the materials’ performance and physical properties for these applications. Detailed design files, with information about material flow, warpage, and PVT-C dependency are available in .mtx format for easy upload into your design simulation software.
