Impact Blocker for Fuel System Protection

This compression-molded, SMC part provides impact protection for a diesel-engine fuel pump.  A new application for thermoset composites, it replaces die-cast metal and nylon for a 50% weight savings (vs. metal) and a 50% cost reduction.  Compression-molded SMC brought short tooling lead times, excellent dimensional tolerances, and impact strength that exceeded both metal and nylon.
