Introdcution of Fiberglass Chopped Strand
Fiberglass chopped strand mat, briefly as CSM, is a kind of
reinforcing product that made from continuous fiberglass strand,
which is chopped into a certain length, distributed in an random
and non-directional position and bonded with binders. It is
suitable for hand lay-up, mold press, filament winding and
mechanical forming etc., such as GRP processes. The main products
include kinds of panels, boats, sanitary ware, water tank,
anticorrosive engineering products, storge tank, automobile parts
and cooling towers etc.
Fiberglass chopped strand mat is made up of short randomly oriented
strands of fiber that are held together with a styrene binder. When
polyester or vinyl ester resin is added, the binder dissolves and
the fibers can be moved around. Mat is great for molds or parts
where thickness is needed. If strength is needed, layer the mat
between woven fiberglass cloth.

Application of Fiberglass Chopped Strand
Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat is most frequently used with
polyester resin to quickly build thickness for parts and between
layers of fabric for building molds. It can be used alone or in
conjunction with fiberglass fabrics, or woven roving, in larger
fabrications.
Fiberglass Chopped strand mat is very economical and offers good
stiffness. However, for greater strength and a lower weight product
biaxials and woven cloth fabrics are generally used. All the
following mats are compatible for use with polyester resins and
vinyl ester resin.
