Menzolit Menzolit® BMC 3100 Unsaturated Polyester UP
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Polyester, TS; Thermoset Polyester Glass Filled BMC
Material Notes:	BMC 3100 is a special BMC suitable for the use in head lamp reflectors. Because of its high temperature resistance and dimensional stability as well as low coefficient of thermal expansion, complex shapes and good reflective properties can be made. Because of its temperature resistance the precise geometry of the reflector will keep its precise shape even at high temperature. It has found specific use in the field of reflectors for automotive head lamps but its use as lamp housings for household and office lighting equipment is possible as well.
