FAQ

What is bathroom SMC? What are its core advantages compared with traditional bathroom materials?

Bathroom SMC is a sheet molding compound specially designed for bathroom products (such as bathtubs, wall panels, waterproof chassis), made of unsaturated polyester resin, glass fiber, low-shrinkage additive (LSA) and other auxiliary materials through special mixing and pressing. Compared with traditional materials (ceramic, acrylic, ordinary plastic), its core advantages are: good surface gloss, strong water resistance, excellent chemical pollution resistance, high strength (not easy to crack and deform), good aging resistance, easy coloring, and light weight (easy to install and transport), which is more suitable for the humid and high-frequency use environment of bathrooms.

Can bathroom SMC products resist corrosion from daily bathroom chemicals (such as shower gel, detergent, disinfectant)?

Yes. Bathroom SMC products are specially optimized for bathroom scenarios, with good resistance to chemical pollution. They can resist corrosion and discoloration caused by common bathroom chemicals such as shower gel, shampoo, detergent and daily disinfectant. It should be noted that long-term contact with strong acid and strong alkali chemicals (such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated alkali) should be avoided, so as not to damage the surface of the product.
