High Performance Glass Fiber Stitched Mat A Revolutionary Force in Composite Materials
Definition & Structure
Glass Fiber Stitched Mat is a non-woven, binder-free reinforcement material composed of randomly distributed E-glass chopped strands (length: 50mm, SiO₂ 52–56%, Al₂O₃ 12–16%), mechanically bonded by polyester stitching yarn instead of chemical binders. This structure preserves fiber integrity, enables rapid resin saturation (≤60 seconds for polyester/epoxy), and delivers isotropic mechanical properties with 30% higher interlaminate shear strength than woven fabrics.
