High Value Creation

BMC’s Typically Replace:

• Die Cast Metals• PhenolicThermosets• Engineering Thermoplastics

• PA6, PA6-6, PA4-6, PPA, PPS, PEI

Weight Reduction Cost Reduction Performance Improvements

BMC materials are strong yet lightweight, versatile and flexible, allowing technological innovation and design freedom.

BMC can molded into components of complex geometries that often replace several parts made of other materials, thus simplifying assemblies and reducing costs.

BMCs' light weight characteristic also helps reduce the overall weight per vehicle, which reduces fuel consumption and allows for more sophisticated systems and components to be included in today's vehicles without adding to the overall weight.

BMC vs. High Performance Materials

BMC thermosets offer the most cost-effective performance at elevated temperatures under load, pressure, and chemical exposure in automotive applications compared to metal and engineered thermoplastics.

Bulk molding compounds specifically offer “the best balance of physical properties at the lowest possible cost when compared to engineering thermoplastics and die cast metals.”

04/21/23 11

Page 12: Bulk molding Compounds, Inc “ Complete Composite Solutions”

BMC Range of Molding Processes

BMC materials are produced in multiple forms, shapes, and sizes to meet each customers specific processing requirements.

BMC materials can be processed by injection, compression, injection-compression, or resin transfer molding depending on the part size, shape, tolerancing, physical properties, and production volumes

Tool life in most cases exceeds more than one million shots making it a very economical process when compared to metal die casting processes.

The major environmental and social impacts of products throughout their life cycle along with the materials from which they are produced, is increasingly being recognized by customers across all market sectors. Many companies have embraced the importance of product sustainability, driven by environmental objectives and increased demand and prices of energy and resources.

BMC materials offer immediate solutions to this demand with core products that offer one of the lowest energy content and cost solutions in light weight/high performance materials.

BMCI has further responded to the demand for renewable materials by developing a line of bio-based BMC composites that employ the use of vegetable oils based resins, recycled fillers, and natural and organic fiber reinforcements.

BMC Sustainable Material Solutions

Green BMC is manufactured using 100% soy based resin an doffers properties comparable to standard to standard grades at competitive costs.

Green BMC also provides a solution to thermoset reprocessing but using pulverized molded BMC as 10% of its filler content.

Page 27: Bulk molding Compounds, Inc “ Complete Composite Solutions”

BMC Encapsulation Benefits(HEV Traction Motor Stator Coils)

Manufacturing and assembly make up ≈ 40% of current motor costsEncapsulation with BMC enables cost reduction vs. alternative methods of

construction

• Cycle time and processing step reduction – Faster cycle times (5-10 minutes vs. 4-8 hours)– Eliminate trickle varnish, taping, tying, machining

• Component reduction and feature integration– Housings/covers, mounting features, termination

features, connectors and bearing housing integration are possible with BMC encapsulations.

• Over-molding of sensitive electronics (PCB’s etc)– High flow/low pressure molding (2-10MPa)– Reduced cure temp materials (<130C)

Page 28: Bulk molding Compounds, Inc “ Complete Composite Solutions”

• Improved thermal dissipation– Thermally conductive BMC’s > 1 W/m K vs. 0.01 for air– Higher power motors = higher heat– Improved efficiency, higher specific power and power density– Longer life

BMC Encapsulation Benefits (HEV Traction Motor Stator Coils)

Page 29: Bulk molding Compounds, Inc “ Complete Composite Solutions”

• Improved reliability– Protect and strengthen the coil windings– Protection from harsh automotive environment (moisture, chemicals, abrasives, etc.)– Reliable performance at high temperatures– Homogenous and mechanically stable structure

• Tight tolerances• Reduced stack up tolerances through integration (i.e. bearing)

– Low mold shrinkage (zero possible)– Low CLTE, similar to metal mating components– Reduced mechanical stresses– Tighter process control vs. other insulating methods
