BMC/DMC STANDOFF INSULATORS
Bulk Molding Compound (BMC)/Dough Molding Compound (DMC) are polymeric composite materials made of a mixture of unsaturated polymer resin, processing additives, cross-linked catalysts, shrink control polyester, mold release agent, fire retardant agent, color pigments, inorganic fillers, and glass chops. Its strong mechanical and electrical insulating properties make it an ideal material for supporting bus bars or other live electrical components.
The material is compression molded into a variety of shapes which commonly include metallic inserts such as threaded inserts for mechanical connections and improved mechanical strengths.
- Made from bulk molding compound, which is made from thermosetting resins, glass fibers, fillers, and additives
- Strong mechanical and electrical insulating properties
- UL-94 flammability rate V-0
- Made from UL-listed BMC material – E249670
- Our catalogue parts are UL-recognized panelboard and switchboard accessories that comply with the brace and support requirements of UL 891 Annex G.: UL File E354884.
- The standoff insulator inserts can be manufactured in aluminum, steel, or brass
- You can match your current standoff with ours on the line card
- Stock available to fulfill your requirements

ISO-TP POLYAMIDE STANDOFF INSULATORS
ISO-TP Standoff Insulators are a glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 66 resin. It’s a more robust material, both
mechanically and electrically, compared to sheet molding and dough molding compounds. The flammability index
of this material is V0 as per UL 94. Polyamide 66 has high abrasive resistance, good insulating properties, and
resistance to organic chemicals like alkalies.
- Polyamide reinforced with glass fiber
- Halogen free
- UL-94 flammability rate V-0
- High mechanical and electrical properties
- Our catalogue parts are UL-recognized panelboard and switchboard accessories that comply with the brace and support requirements of UL 891 Annex G
- Available on steel zinc plated inserts, brass or aluminum
- UL Listed: UL 891 Annex G UL FILE E314972
- Compliance with IEC 61439
- Recyclability

EPOXY STANDOFF INSULATORS
Cycloaliphatic Epoxy is a low viscosity, low molecular weight, epoxy resin designed for high voltage outdoor electrical
applications. The epoxy resin system delivers crack-free components with excellent mechanical and electrical properties with high uniformity. It also provides good thermal shock resistance and is suitable for use in outdoor applications.
When the hardener, accelerator, and filler are mixed with epoxy resin and cast under a vacuum, crack-free components with
excellent mechanical and electrical properties can be achieved with high uniformity. This system provides good thermal shock resistance and is suitable for use in outdoor applications.
BUS SUPPORTS AND BMC/SMC CUSTOM
Bus Bar Standoff Insulators are made of a polymeric composite material that has received UL recognition. A manufacturing environment compliant with ISO 9001:2015 regulates the production process. Each lot is mechanically and electrically tested to ensure performance and dependability for the most demanding electrical applications.
The Gund Company offers testing capabilities for new product designs for all electrical and mechanical properties. We maintain stock in the US, with orders shipping within 24 hours.
- Custom Design: We work closely with you to understand your technical and certification requirements
- Testing: We can test mechanical end electrical properties using UL, IEC, and others
- Material Selection: We produce our own type of BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) and SMC (Sheet Molding Compound}. Both materials are UL-listed, and we can help you list and update your UL file
- Fast Turnaround Time: We can take a part from drawing to production in just 4-6 weeks, ensuring the functionality of your components
