Custom Color Urea Moulding Compound UMC

Reliable Thermosetting Material for Consistent Moulding Production

Chemcola Urea Moulding Compound, also known as UMC, Urea Formaldehyde Moulding Compound, Urea Moulding Powder or Amino Moulding Compound, is a thermosetting material formulated from urea-formaldehyde resin, refined alpha-cellulose, pigments, lubricants and curing agents.

It is designed for manufacturers that require a smooth surface, attractive appearance, stable colour, good mechanical strength and reliable moulding performance. Powder and granular forms are available for compression, transfer and injection moulding applications.

Whether you need a standard white grade, a customized colour or a formulation matched to a specific finished product, our team can help you select and test a suitable UMC grade before bulk purchasing.

Why Manufacturers Choose Urea Moulding Compound

Smooth and Glossy Surface

UMC can produce moulded parts with a smooth, hard and lustrous surface. It is suitable for products where appearance, touch and surface quality influence the value of the finished product.

Wide Range of Customized Colours

White, ivory, cream and a broad range of customized colours are available. Colour matching can be developed according to a physical sample, Pantone code, RAL colour number or other mutually confirmed colour standard.

This enables manufacturers to maintain a consistent product appearance across different production batches.

Good Mechanical Performance

Properly processed UMC provides good surface hardness, flexural strength and resistance to everyday scratching and abrasion. It is suitable for components that require both an attractive appearance and durability during regular use.

Reliable Electrical Properties

UMC offers useful electrical insulation properties and can be considered for switches, sockets, plugs, electrical housings and other electrical components.

The required electrical performance should be confirmed according to the finished product design, operating conditions and applicable market standards.

Heat and Flame Performance

Selected UMC grades provide heat resistance and flame-resistant characteristics for suitable industrial applications. Unlike ordinary thermoplastics, thermosetting UMC retains its formed structure after curing and does not soften again in the same way when exposed to heat.

Specific flame or heat-resistance requirements should be provided before quotation so that the appropriate grade and supporting test data can be evaluated.

Resistance to Common Household Chemicals

The cured material provides resistance to many detergents, oils and greases encountered in normal household and commercial use. It also offers moderate resistance to certain weak acids and alkalis.

Suitability should be tested when the finished part will be exposed to concentrated chemicals, high temperatures or prolonged immersion.

Flexible Moulding Options

UMC can be supplied in powder or granular form to suit different equipment and processing conditions. Grades can be selected for compression, transfer or injection moulding.

For faster technical matching, please provide your moulding method, machine type, product dimensions, mould temperature, curing time and current material sample.

Main Applications

Electrical Components

UMC is widely used for components that require insulation, dimensional stability and a hard finished surface, including:

• Electrical switches

• Wall sockets

• Plugs and connectors

• Wiring devices

• Circuit protection components

• Electrical enclosures

• Small appliance components

Buttons and Clothing Accessories

Its smooth surface, colour flexibility and resistance to normal handling make UMC suitable for:

• Garment buttons

• Decorative buttons

• Uniform accessories

• Small moulded fashion components

Household and Sanitary Products

UMC may be used for various household and sanitary components, such as:

• Toilet seat accessories

• Appliance knobs and handles

• Small housings

• Bathroom accessories

• Decorative household parts

Cosmetic and Packaging Components

Customized colours and a refined surface finish make suitable grades useful for:

• Cosmetic container closures

• Bottle caps

• Decorative packaging components

• Small premium moulded parts

Game and Entertainment Products

UMC can also be used to manufacture:

• Mahjong tiles

• Dominoes

• Chess pieces

• Dice

• Other coloured game accessories

The final material grade should always be selected according to the finished product, processing method and regulatory requirements of the destination market.

Typical Technical Data

The following values are reference data for a typical UMC grade. Different colours, forms and processing grades may have different specifications.

These figures are not a universal specification for every UMC grade. Final technical requirements, test methods and acceptance limits should be confirmed in the quotation, technical data sheet or batch inspection document.

Colour and Grade Customization

Different finished products require different combinations of colour, flow, curing speed, surface quality, strength and electrical performance. We therefore recommend confirming the application before selecting a grade.

Our customization process normally includes:

1. Collection of the buyer’s product and processing requirements.

2. Confirmation of powder or granular form.

3. Colour matching based on a sample or recognized colour code.

4. Recommendation of a suitable UMC grade.

5. Sample testing on the buyer’s moulding equipment.

6. Adjustment and confirmation before bulk production.

7. Batch production according to the approved reference.

For repeat orders, retaining an approved colour sample and specification helps improve consistency between batches.

Quality Control and Batch Consistency

For B2B buyers, stable processing is often more important than a single laboratory value. Material inconsistency can lead to colour differences, incomplete filling, surface defects, unstable curing or higher rejection rates.

Chemcola works with qualified manufacturing partners and follows the confirmed product specification throughout order execution. Depending on the grade and order requirements, product specifications, batch documents and third-party testing support can be discussed before shipment.

Pre-shipment video inspection and third-party inspection can also be arranged upon request.

We recommend conducting a production trial before placing a large customized order, especially when:

• A precise colour match is required.

• The buyer is changing from another supplier.

• Injection moulding equipment will be used.

• The mould has a complex structure.

• Special heat, flame or electrical properties are required.

• The finished product is subject to mandatory market regulations.

Packaging and Container Loading

Standard export packaging is 25 kg per bag. Each bag includes an inner moisture-resistant plastic liner to help protect the material during storage and transportation.

Available packaging options include:

• 10 kg per bag

• 20 kg per bag

• 25 kg per bag

• Kraft paper bags

• Woven bags with inner plastic liners

• Customized printed packaging, subject to quantity

A standard 20-foot container can load approximately 20 metric tons, depending on the selected packaging, pallet requirements and shipping restrictions.

Our logistics team can provide FOB, CIF and other available shipping solutions based on the destination port, order volume and required delivery schedule.

Storage and Handling

UMC absorbs moisture and should be protected carefully after production and after opening the bag.

For proper storage:

• Keep the bags sealed until use.

• Store the product in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.

• Protect the bags from water, humidity, dust and direct sunlight.

• Avoid direct contact with the floor or external walls.

• Keep the storage temperature below 25°C whenever possible.

• Close partially used bags immediately after removing material.

Under recommended conditions, the reference storage period is up to six months from the manufacturing date. Material stored beyond this period should be tested before production use.
