Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat: Essential for Stronger Structures
Product Description
A non-woven material fabricated from E-CR glass filaments, Chopped Strand Mat comprises chopped fibers that are randomly and uniformly distributed. These 50mm-long fibers are treated with a silane coupling agent and bonded into a cohesive mat using an emulsion or powder binder, offering broad compatibility with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and phenolic resins.
Chopped Strand Mat is widely applicable across various manufacturing processes, including hand lay-up, filament winding, compression molding, and continuous laminating. Its end-use markets cover infrastructure & construction, automotive, chemical, and marine sectors, with common applications in producing boats, bathroom equipment, auto parts, chemical-resistant pipes, storage tanks, cooling towers, various panels, and building components.
Product Features
Chopped Strand Mat delivers exceptional performance, characterized by consistent thickness, minimal fuzz during handling, and an impurity-free structure. It is soft and easy to tear manually, with excellent processability and defoaming capabilities. Additionally, it offers low resin consumption, rapid wet-out, and thorough resin penetration—while components made with it exhibit high tensile strength (ideal for large-area parts) and superior overall mechanical properties.
