Precision & Value: Exploring BMC 1610 and BMC 1615 as Cost-Effective Thermosetting Solutions

Date | 2025-12-31 10:10:13

In modern manufacturing, achieving the optimal balance between performance, process stability, and cost control is critical. Material selection plays a decisive role in this balance.

With this in mind, Wenzhou Jintong Complete Appliances Co., Ltd. has developed BMC 1610 and BMC 1615, two high-performance bulk molding compounds designed not for extreme specifications, but for reliable, economical, and scalable applications. They serve as trusted starting solutions for the electrical, household appliance, and general engineering sectors.

1. Clear Positioning for Mainstream Applications

BMC 1610 and BMC 1615 are key products within our BMC 16 Series, developed to meet the most common industrial requirements:
stable performance, easy processing, and long-term reliability.

BMC 1610 – A Reliable and Economical Foundation

BMC 1610 represents an excellent cost-performance balance. While fully retaining the inherent advantages of thermosetting materials—such as dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and non-melting behavior—it offers good flowability and a wide processing window.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • Standard electrical parts

  • General-purpose housings

  • Cost-sensitive projects requiring stable quality

BMC 1615 – Balanced Performance with Enhanced Reliability

Building on BMC 1610, BMC 1615 delivers enhanced mechanical strength and electrical insulation performance. It provides an additional safety margin for applications where structural integrity and long-term reliability are critical.

For most electrical and structural components with defined strength requirements, BMC 1615 is often the “safe and proven” material choice.

2. Data-Driven Performance Backed by Internal Standards

At Jintong, every performance claim is supported by verifiable data. Both BMC 1610 and BMC 1615 strictly comply with—and exceed—the requirements of our internal enterprise standard
Q/JTJ0001-2025 Thermosetting Materials Technical Specification, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.

Typical performance values for BMC 1615 include:

  • Mechanical Properties

    • Flexural strength ≥ 90 MPa

    • Flexural modulus ≥ 8,000 MPa

    • Charpy impact strength (unnotched) ≥ 25 kJ/m²

  • Thermal & Electrical Properties

    • Temperature index ≥ 130°C

    • Dielectric strength ≥ 20 kV/mm

    • Insulation resistance (normal condition) ≥ 1.0 × 10¹³ Ω

  • Process & Environmental Compliance

    • Good compression molding flow behavior

    • Fully compliant with RoHS and relevant environmental directives

BMC 1610 features a more cost-optimized performance balance with enhanced flow characteristics. Detailed technical data is available upon request.

    Production follows Q/JTJ0002-2025 Thermosetting Compression Molding Technical Conditions, with precise control of temperature, pressure, and curing time.

  • Professional Tooling Support
    Based on Q/JTJ0003-2025 Thermosetting Mold Design & Manufacturing Standard, we provide scientific tooling recommendations, including runner layout and draft optimization.

  • End-to-End Technical Collaboration
    From material selection and process tuning to mass production support, our engineers work closely with customers to ensure smooth project implementation.

4. Typical Application Areas

Thanks to their balanced performance profile, BMC 1610 and BMC 1615 are widely used in:

  • Low-voltage electrical components: circuit breaker housings, switch bases, insulation plates

  • Household appliances: oven knobs, small motor housings, junction boxes

  • Industrial components: pump and valve housings, instrument panels, light-duty brackets

  • Daily-use products: melamine handles, sanitary and bathroom components

When your product requires a stable, process-friendly, and cost-effective thermosetting material, BMC 1610 or BMC 1615 is very likely the right answer.
