SMC compression molding
SMC parts for enclosures, panels and outdoor use
SMC is used for larger parts that have to be stiff and stay stable outdoors: enclosures, panels, covers and structural parts. Compression molding gives both faces a molded finish, forms ribs, bosses and holes in the same shot, and repeats dimensions well from part to part.
For a quotation, tell us the part size, the requirements (flame rating, UV and weather resistance, insulation, color) and the annual volume. We will suggest a compound grade and a mold concept.
Typical SMC parts
- Electric meter boxes and distribution enclosures
- Switchgear and cabinet panels
- EV battery covers and enclosures
- Automotive and truck body panels
- Water tank panels
- Covers, gratings and cable trays
- Shower trays and bathtubs
SMC parts FAQ
Are SMC parts suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. SMC is widely used for outdoor enclosures, meter boxes and panels because it resists weathering, moisture and corrosion. UV-stabilized grades or painting are used where color stability matters.
Can SMC replace sheet metal enclosures?
Often. SMC enclosures do not corrode, need no paint for corrosion protection, insulate electrically and can carry ribs, bosses and mounting features in one molded part.
