450gm CSM - Chopped Strand Mat - 1040mm wide - 1/2sq, meter

Chopped strand fibreglass mat (CSM) - is the most extensively used reinforcement in the fibreglass industry. The advantages of CSM versus fabrics are their economic value, and how easily they conform to contours. CSM does not offer the strength characteristics of Fibreglass or Basalt fabrics but is ideal for low-cost, rapid build-ups. CSM can be used alone or in conjunction with fibreglass fabrics, woven roving, or stitched fabrics in larger fabrications. CSM is commonly used for buildup use as in plywood decking and/or between layers of fabric when moulding.

Use only our polyester or vinyl ester resins with Emulsion-bound Chopped Strand Mat (CSM). When using epoxy resins, Powder-bound Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) must be used. Powder-bound CSM is available from us. Specify this in your purchase selection.

The amount of resin needed to saturate (wet out) this 450-gram CSM is about 1 kg per square meter.

Always wear gloves and a dust mask and avoid breathing vapours of resin or dust residue.
