BMC 501E molding compound is a mineral filled, glass-fiber-reinforced polyester compound suitable for compression and transfer molding. It is a product with good overall electrical properties, flame resistance, and low water absorption. Distinguished from other materials by its very soft flow, it is an excellent compound for encapsulating delicate components. Typical applications include coil and solenoid Encapsulation. BMC 501E molding compound is produced in extruded form in a range on industrial colors. Because of the soft consistency of this product, it is only available in logs from 3 inches to 12 inches in length and from 1" to 2 ½" in diameter. Within this range, smaller diameters are supplied as multiple extrusions.
