Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) is a non-woven reinforcement material made from randomly oriented glass fiber strands (chopped to lengths typically around 50 mm) that are bound together with a binder. It is commonly used in hand lay-up, compression molding, and other fiberglass molding processes.
Product performance introduction
For heavyweight mats (2000 gsm and above), these products are typically designed for high-strength, structural applications such as boat hulls, automotive panels, building materials, and large FRP components.
