Chopped Strand Mat

- Emulsion Bonded M1A

Fibertech Chopped Strand Mat - M1A is an emulsion-bonded mat especially designed for the hand lay-up of opaque moldings with polyester resins. M1A represents a careful balance of chemistry and glass fiber processing that results in a reinforcement that is easy to use and provides for excellent moldings under a variety of workshop conditions.

- Powder Bonded M3A

Fibertech Chopped Strand Mat - M3A is a powder-bound mat especially designed for contact molding applications that require the maximum: corrosion resistance in hostile environments hydrolytic stability; high mechanical properties; durability and; laminate clarity.
M3A represents a careful balance of chemistry and glass fiber processing that results in a reinforcement that is easy to apply and is compatible with corrosion-resistant resins (epoxies and bisphenol or vinyl esters) as well as unsaturated Orthophthalic and Isophthalic polyester resins.
