Automotive-Grade Glass Fiber Chopped Strand Mat – High-Performance Resin-Compatible Reinforcement
Product Overview
Automotive-Grade Glass Fiber Chopped Strand Mat is engineered for lightweight automotive components, combining 50mm chopped E-glass fibers with polyester/polyurethane binders. Designed for hand lay-up, RTM, and SMC processes, this mat delivers rapid resin penetration and consistent mechanical properties, critical for automotive interior panels, chassis parts, and crash-resistant structures .
Key Features
-
Dual-Binder Compatibility: Available in powder (7.5-8.0% combustible content) and emulsion (3.0-5.0% combustible content) versions for tailored viscosity .
-
Thermal Stability: Withstands continuous service up to 150°C in under-hood applications.
-
Mold Release: Low surface tack ensures easy demolding in complex geometries.
