Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat - Epoxy/Polyester Compatible - 10 Yards X 50 Wide

The continuous 10-yard linear length of 50" wide material comes rolled and packaged as seen in the pictures provided. It is suitable for various hand lay-up applications using epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins, and is commonly utilized in industries such as transportation, recreation, marine, and construction.

It is important to note that this product is powder bound, allowing for compatibility with multiple resins. Unlike products that are emulsion bound, the fibers in this material are not glued together, making it easier for them to come apart. However, this property also allows for greater flexibility when applying the material to a mold, as the fibers can be adjusted as needed. If you are accustomed to products typically found in retail stores or auto-parts shops, it is important to understand that this material is designed for quick wetting out and easy separation.

To prevent fibers from sticking to gloves, it is recommended to wet the surface where the material will be applied before laying it down. Please refrain from leaving negative reviews based on the material's tendency to come apart easily, as this characteristic is intentional due to it being powder bound.

This material can be used as a "print through" barrier between gel coat and woven roving, as a bonding layer between layers of woven roving, or to build thickness at a rate of approximately 1/22" or .045" per layer. It provides consistent strength and stiffness in all directions and conforms to mold details more effectively than woven roving.
