Glass Fiber Reinforced Phenolic Moulding Compound (GFR-PMC) is a thermosetting composite material featuring phenolic resin as its matrix and glass fiber as its reinforcing material. It exhibits high strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for manufacturing specific high-performance components in the automotive industry.
Its applications in the automotive industry primarily focus on the following areas:
1. Engine and powertrain components: Leveraging its superior heat resistance and mechanical strength, it is used to manufacture parts exposed to high temperatures, such as engine covers, valve covers, and clutch components.
2. Fuel and Lubrication System Components: Their excellent chemical corrosion resistance makes them suitable for fuel delivery pumps, oil pump housings, fuel filter casings, and other parts exposed to fuel and lubricants.
3. Electrical and Electronic Components: Their outstanding electrical insulation properties are frequently utilized in automotive electrical systems for insulating structural parts like distributor caps, ignition coil housings, and switch boxes.
4. Structural and Functional Components: Suitable for producing non-load-bearing structural parts requiring strength and rigidity, such as brake pedals, transmission shift levers, and air conditioning system housings.
This material is particularly well-suited for automotive components demanding high heat resistance, dimensional stability, and insulation properties. Despite its longer curing time and relatively complex processing techniques, it offers irreplaceable advantages in specific high-performance applications.
