Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat for Enhanced Structural Integrity
Product Description
Product Overview: Chopped Strand Mat is a randomly oriented, non-woven mat made from 50 mm E-CR glass filaments, bonded with an emulsion or powder binder and treated with a silane coupling agent for improved interfacial adhesion.
Key Features:
- Wide Resin Compatibility: Works with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and phenolic resins.
- Process Versatility: Suitable for hand lay-up, filament winding, compression molding, and continuous laminating.
- Broad Market Application: Used in infrastructure/construction, automotive, chemical, and marine sectors.
Typical End Uses: Boats, bath equipment, auto parts, chemical-resistant pipes & tanks, cooling towers, panels, and building components.
Product Features
Chopped Strand Mat offers a combination of superior processing characteristics and final-part performance:
Processing Advantages:
• Uniform thickness with a soft, easily-tearable structure for convenient handling.
• Low fuzz generation and high purity (free of impurities).
• Excellent resin compatibility: fast wet-out, complete wet-through, easy defoaming, and low resin consumption.
Performance Benefits:
• Contributes to high tensile strength in fabricated parts, especially beneficial for large-area components.
• Enables the production of parts with strong overall mechanical properties.
