Thermosetting Urea Moulding Compound Powder for Electrical Insulator and Flame Retardant Applications

Urea Moulding Compound is a thermosetting material supplied as a fine, homogeneous powder or granular form. It is primarily composed of urea-formaldehyde resin, cellulose filler, pigments, and catalysts. When subjected to heat and pressure in a compression or transfer moulding process, it undergoes an irreversible chemical reaction (cures), forming a hard, infusible, and insoluble product. Unlike thermoplastics, it cannot be remelted, granting it superior heat resistance and dimensional stability.

• Electrical Components: Outstanding arc resistance and non-tracking properties make it ideal for switches, sockets, circuit breaker housings, fuse holders, and distributor caps. Ensures safety and reliability in electrical applications.
• Automotive Hardware: Used for creating knobs, buttons, headlight bezels, and interior trim parts that require high-gloss finish, color consistency, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
• Consumer Goods & Appliances: Perfect for kitchenware handles (pot handles, lids), buttons, cosmetic caps, and housings for small appliances where aesthetics, hygiene, and heat resistance are paramount.
• General Hardware: Widely used for bottle caps, closures, and decorative buttons due to excellent moulding precision and surface finish.

• Superior Aesthetics: Brilliant, hard, and scratch-resistant gloss finish with wide range of bright, non-fading colors
• Excellent Electrical Insulator: High dielectric strength and exceptional arc resistance for electrical safety
• Heat & Chemical Resistance: Withstands higher temperatures than common thermoplastics and resists solvents, oils, and weak acids
• Flame Retardancy: Inherently flame retardant and self-extinguishing, meeting key safety standards
• Cost-Effective for High-Volume Runs: Competitive material cost per part in mass production for small, intricate components
• Food-Safe & Hygienic: Certain grades approved for food contact applications - odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic once cured

Urea Moulding Compound is primarily processed using:

• Compression Moulding: The most common method, where powder is placed in a heated cavity and compressed
• Transfer Moulding: Suitable for intricate parts with inserts, where the compound is first softened in a pot and then transferred into the closed mould

Proper drying of the powder before moulding is crucial to prevent defects like blisters or porosity.
