Glass fibre chopped strand mat
Glass fibre chopped strand mat for laminates and manufacturing or repair applications. Compare the glass fibre mat type, areal weight and binder compatibility with the resin before buying.
What to consider when choosing
Distinguishing glass fibre mat from surface veils
This selection also includes glass veils for surface layers. They do not perform the same function as glass fibre chopped strand mat and should not be confused with woven glass fabric. The catalogue lists part-manufacturing and waterproofing applications for specific products.
Check the binder and suitable resins in the data sheet: compatibility cannot be inferred solely from the fibres being glass. For a woven construction or an assembly of stitched layers, browse fabrics and combination materials.
Applications and material selection
For parts, moulds and waterproofing laminates, emulsion-bound glass fibre mats come in different areal weights. One specific reference is described for initial layers near the gelcoat; powder-bound variants cover boat hulls in contact with water. Selection includes the binder, not just the weight.
For a woven layer browse glass fibre fabrics; for hand lay-up compare polyester resins.
