SMC and BMC Hot Press
Hot press is a production method that provides, producing composite parts from different molding compounds formulations under pressure. It is preferred in high quantity productions because of high investment costs. The following products are under this product range: Polipol 347 for production of park equipment, boxes, and recycle bins; Polipol 3417-V for production of high surface quality vehicle parts, composite boxes, and cases; Polipol 382 for production of high thermal and chemical resistant composite parts. Polipol 3418, all maleic resins used in applications where both high surface quality and thermal resistance are needed.
SMC-BMC production methods are one of the fastest production methods for producing composite parts.

BMC Dough Production
① Prepare the mixture of Polipol resin, peroxide, filler, thermoplastic additives, pigment paste and internal release agent.
② Add chopped strand mat into this mixture and continue mixing in order to get a homogenous mixture.
③ After mixing, insert the compound into plastic bags.

SMC Hot Press Application
① Release the plastic films from the matured compound.
② Place the compound into the hot mold at temperatures between 130-170°C .
③ Ideal molding pressure should be around 150-170 kg/cm². Molding should take 1minute for every 1mm of material thickness.
④ After molding, demold the product and trim edges.
