SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) insulation board is a glass-fiber reinforced thermoset plastic offering high mechanical strength, excellent arc resistance and dimensional stability for switchgear, busbar and high-voltage insulation.
| Material | Glass-fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester (SMC) |
| Colour | Red-brown / grey (customisable) |
| Density | ≈ 1.8–2.0 g/cm³ |
| Thickness Range | 2 mm – 50 mm |
| Operating Temp. | ≤ 180 °C continuous |
| Dielectric Strength | ≥ 12 kV/mm |
| Arc Resistance | ≥ 180 s |
| Flexural Strength | ≥ 120 MPa |
| Flammability | UL94 V-0 (flame retardant) |

Arc resistance ≥180 s makes SMC ideal for switchgear, arc chutes and high-voltage barriers.
UL94 V-0 self-extinguishing performance for safe use in power distribution equipment.
Glass-fiber reinforcement gives high flexural strength and excellent dimensional stability.
Continuous service up to 180 °C without loss of insulation properties.
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) insulation board is a thermoset composite of unsaturated polyester resin, chopped glass fibre and mineral fillers, compression-moulded into rigid sheets. It combines high mechanical strength with outstanding electrical and arc-resistance properties, making it a core material in modern switchgear and power distribution equipment.
Our SMC board offers arc resistance of at least 180 seconds, dielectric strength ≥12 kV/mm and UL94 V-0 flame-retardant performance, while withstanding continuous service temperatures up to 180 °C. The glass-fibre reinforcement delivers high flexural strength (≥120 MPa) and excellent dimensional stability under thermal and mechanical stress.
We supply SMC board from 2 mm to 50 mm thick, in standard or custom colours, as sheets or CNC-cut parts. With reliable export logistics we serve switchgear and electrical equipment manufacturers across the USA, Mexico, Brazil and Europe.
SMC is a compression-moulded thermoset composite of unsaturated polyester resin, chopped glass fibre and mineral fillers, giving it high strength and excellent arc resistance.
SMC offers very high arc resistance (≥180 s), UL94 V-0 flame retardancy and heat resistance up to 180 °C, which makes it ideal for arc chutes, busbar supports and high-voltage barriers.
We manufacture SMC board from 2 mm to 50 mm thick, available as standard sheets or CNC-cut to your required dimensions.
Yes. SMC can be CNC cut, drilled and milled into finished insulation parts such as barriers, supports and terminal blocks.
