300g Powder Bound Chopped Strand Mat (1250mm)

Chopped strand mat (or CSM as it is often known) is the most widely used of all composite reinforcement materials.

Korte strengen glas worden willekeurig verspreid en gebonden tot een mat die vervolgens kan worden bevochtigd met hars en gebruikt als een algemene versterking voor traditionele glasvezel (GRP/FRP) mallen of onderdelen.

Due to its comparatively low performance compared with alternative reinforcements (woven glass fabric, carbon fibre, Kevlar etc.) chopped strand mat is certainly not at the forefront of advanced composites but there are still applications where it is used in parts and it is still used extensively in the production of patterns and moulds for more advanced composites.

Typisch gebruik

Our 300g powder bound CSM is suitable for use with all resin systems including epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester and phenolic resin so if you want to use just one type of chopped strand mat this is the one to go for.

• Epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester compatible
• Geschikt voor mallen maken en lamineren
• Suitable for use with our high-temperature mould making system

Why 'Powder Bound'?

Necessarily the individual strands of glass that make up the mat need something to bind them together. In conventional emulsion bound CSM the binder is broken down by the polyester or vinylester resin it is designed to be laminated with. However, the binder used in conventional CSM is not broken down by epoxy resin meaning the individual strands all stay together in their original mat making the CSM impossible to laminate with properly.

'Powder Bound' fibreglass matting (CSM) is designed for use as chopped strand mat for epoxy resin, using a powder based binder that does not need to be broken down in the same way as emulsion bound mat, making it essential for use when laminating with epoxy resin, either making a mould or a part.
