3B’s Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) is a non-woven mat made from 3B E-CR glass filaments, consisting of chopped fibres randomly and yet evenly orientated. The 50 mm length chopped fibres are coated with a silane coupling agent and are held together using an emulsion binder.
CSM is particularly suitable for hand lay-up process using Thermoset resin systems to manufacture wide range of products for automobile, re-creation, chemical, electrical industries.
