Continuous Filament Mat (CFM), also known as Continuous Raw Fiber Mat, is a non-woven mat made from continuous glass filaments randomly oriented and bound together using a chemical binder (usually emulsion or powder). Unlike chopped strand mat, it offers greater strength and dimensional stability due to the continuity of the glass fibers.
Product performance introduction
In heavier weights (e.g. 2000 gsm and above), this mat is typically used in structural composite applications requiring high mechanical strength and impact resistance.
🛠️ Typical Applications:
-
Pultrusion profiles
-
Large FRP structural parts
-
Pipe and tank winding (as liner or core layer)
-
Electrical insulation materials
-
Wind blade root reinforcements
-
Panels requiring dimensional stability
