Chopped Strand Mat
Chopped strand mat (CSM) is a staple reinforcement material in the world of composites manufacturing. It's renowned for its versatility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. At MB Fibreglass, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality CSM products to suit a variety of applications.
CSM consists of randomly oriented glass fibres chopped into short lengths and held together by a binder. This structure gives it excellent drapability and conformability, making it ideal for moulding complex shapes. We recommend using emulsion-bound CSM for polyester & vinyl ester resins; we also stock powder-bound CSM, which is more suited to epoxy resins.
Available in a range of weights from 225gsm to 900gsm.
