BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound)
BMC is a material formed by adding a paste-like mixture of chopped glass fibers..
Glass fiber and/or carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are widely preferred in the transportation sector due to their superior engineering properties. With their high strength-to-weight ratio and long service life, these materials make a significant contribution to the development of modern transportation solutions.
In particular, in railway systems, composite materials are effectively used not only in the interior components of trains, trams, and metro vehicles, but also in infrastructure and structural applications. Composite rail systems and related components offer lighter and more durable solutions compared to conventional materials, enabling improved performance.
The increasing use of composite rails allows manufacturers to develop higher-performance and more competitive end products, while also reducing maintenance and operational costs. Low maintenance requirements and long service life are among the key factors that make these materials economically advantageous.
In addition, composite materials stand out with their very high mechanical strength, superior corrosion resistance, and effective self-extinguishing properties. Thanks to reduced smoke toxicity, they can be safely used in interior applications of rail vehicles, providing important advantages in terms of passenger safety.
