Product Description

Chopped Strand Mat is a non-woven material fabricated from E-CR glass filaments. It is composed of chopped fibers that are oriented both randomly and uniformly. The 50-millimeter-long chopped fibers are covered with a silane coupling agent and kept intact by means of an emulsion or powder binder. This mat is compatible with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and phenolic resins.

Chopped Strand Mat has a wide range of applications in processes like hand lay-up, filament winding, compression molding, and continuous laminating. Its end-use markets span infrastructure and construction, automotive and building, chemistry and chemical industries, and marine sectors. For instance, it is used in the production of boats, bathing equipment, auto parts, chemical-resistant pipes, tanks, cooling towers, various panels, building components, and more.

Product Features

Chopped Strand Mat boasts exceptional performance characteristics. It features a uniform thickness and generates little fuzz during operation, with no impurities present. The mat is soft and easy to tear by hand, offering excellent applicability and defoaming properties. It requires low resin consumption while achieving fast wet-out and thorough wetting in resins. When used to produce large-area components, it delivers high tensile strength, and the parts manufactured with it exhibit superior mechanical properties.
