Which fiberglass applications are suitable for different weight chopped strand mats?
Chopped strand mat (CSM) is an inexpensive type of fiberglass commonly used in hull molding construction. offers a wide selection of chopped strand mat and fiberglass mat rolls at competitive prices in the industry.
A robust and durable composite chopped strand mat is used as the first layer of a laminate to prevent the fabric texture from showing through the resin layer. Chopped strand mat is an ideal solution for specialized shipbuilding and other applications requiring a good surface finish.
Industrial Applications of Chopped Strand Mat
Chopted strand mat is most commonly used by shipbuilders to create the innermost laminate layer of a hull. This fiberglass mat can also be used in similar applications in other industries, including:
●Construction
●Consumer Entertainment
●Industrial/Corrosion
●Transportation
●Wind Energy/Power
Chopted Strand Mat in Hull Construction
Chopted fiberglass is bonded together using a resin adhesive. The chopped strand mat has rapid wetting properties to reduce filling time, allowing it to conform to complex molds in the hull.
In comprehensive online warehouse of fiberglass plastics and accessories, the highest quality chopped chain mat (CSM) for the fiberglass industry is available at the best prices. When resin is added to fiberglass mat, the resin binder dissolves, allowing the fibers to move freely, enabling CSM to conform to tight curves and corners.
Chopted strand mat specifications: 100-150-225-300-450-600-900 g/m²
Chopted strand mat is widely used in shipbuilding and other industries as a basic laminate reinforcement material to reduce weave penetration. The wetting ratio of CSM is 2.5:1, and 2.5 kg of resin is required per kilogram of chopped strand mat.
