Irbis® CSM – Chopped Strand Mats

Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mats are non-woven fabrics consisting of randomly distributed chopped strands held together with a powder or emulsion binder. Our Irbis® Chopped Strand Mat is compatible with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy and phenolic resins. The products are most widely used in hand lay-up process and can also be used in filament winding, compression molding and continuous laminating processes. The typical end-use applications include various panels, boats, FRP roof shoot, automotive parts, bathroom equipment and cooling towers.

Our Irbis® Chopped Strand Mats are available in basic weights up to 900 g/m2 and in widths from 200 mm to 2600 mm.

FEATURES AND PRODUCT BENEFITS

  1. Uniform density ensures consistent fiberglass content and mechanical properties of the composites products.
  2. Uniform powder distribution ensures good mat integrity, little loose fibers and small roll diameter.
  3. Excellent flexibility ensures good mold ability with no spring back at sharp corners.
  4. Fast and consistent wet-out speed resins and rapid air release reduce resin consumption, improving manufacturing costs, productivity and mechanical properties of the end products.
  5. The composite products have high dry and wet tensile strength and good transparency.
