EN124 C250 & D400 round SMC resin manhole cover
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a compression molding compound often used for larger parts where higher mechanical strength is needed. SMC is a fiber reinforced thermoset material. As with BMC, thermoset Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a mixture of polymer resin, inert fillers, fiber reinforcement, catalysts, pigments and stabilizers, release agents, and thickeners and possesses strong dielectric properties.
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a mineral filled, fiberglass reinforced polyester (vinyl ester and phenolic) based molding compound. SMC is a thermosetting material that undergoes an irreversible cross-linking reaction when exposed to the heat and pressure of the thermoset molding process (i.e. ambient delivery of material to a heated molding surface).A somewhat tacky, dough-like mass in its unmolded state, SMC is covered to an infusible, solid state using injection, compression and transfer methods.

D400 manhole cover
Materials for Clear Opening Ø900mm (Ø977mm) D400&C250 Cover & Frame
General classifications of manhole covers are below:
A-15 – 1,5 ton load resistance – Intended for surfaces, grating and other areas used by two-wheel vehicles and pedestrians
B-125 – 12,5 ton load resistance – Especially for surfaces or sidewalks comparable to parking grounds for tourist vehicles
C-250 – 25 ton load resistance – Intended for parking lots and sides of roads for heavy vehicles, side grooves, sidewalks and pedestrian zones on streets.
D-400 – 40 ton load resistance – For pedestrian streets, lanes, streets and roads (except side grooves)
E-600 – 60 ton load resistance – Also for special use in factories, dock areas and airports etc.
F-900 – 90 ton load resistance – Also for special use in factories, dock areas and airports etc.
The classification above comply with the standards EN 124 for Europe .
In addition, in need of both change of the metal / concrete and asphalt circle and raising manhole cover, the cover can be re-positioned with elevation apparatus.

SMC Raw material
1.No recovery value and anti-theft—the plastic manhole covers use the SMC material and will solve the stolen problem thoroughly.
2.High load capacity—plastic manhole covers have a high load capacity exceeds the ductile iron strictly conforms to BS EN124 Standard.
3. Light weighted—manhole covers of composite material is 30% lighter than covers of iron, which allows easy transportation and maintenance.
4.Free-design—It can be designed according to users’ demands, including size,color, pattern, specification.
4.Long service life-it can be used at least 30 years.
5.Well sealed—-it can be used effectively prevent those poisonous gases leaking out from cesspool.
6.Logo application avaliable
