Product description
Fibreglass chopped strand mat is the most commonly used reinforcement material for making laminates with the "hand lay-up" technique. The glass fibres are cross-linked and are held together by a binder. This binder dissolves in styrene (e.g. polyester resin) and can therefore take on many different shapes during lamination.
Fibreglass chopped strand mat 300 gr/m2 is used for molded parts with many details.
We also supply fibreglass chopped strand mat in225 gr/m2 (0.5 mm layer thickness) and 450 gr/m2 (1 mm layer thickness).

Fabric or reinforcement type describes how the fibres are arranged. This affects how easily the material drapes over a shape and which directions it mainly reinforces.
- Plain weave (square weave): the yarns pass alternately over and under each other. The fabric is stable and works well on flat or gently curved surfaces.
- Twill weave: recognisable by its diagonal pattern. It is more flexible than plain weave and drapes more easily over curves.
- Unidirectional reinforcement (UD): the fibres run mainly in one direction, usually marked 0°. It provides reinforcement primarily along that direction.
- Multiaxial reinforcement: fibres are arranged in several directions, for example biaxial (+45°/-45°), Square (0°/90°) or triaxial (0°/+45°/-45°). Fibre bundles are normally held together by stitching rather than a conventional weave.
Note: a Square reinforcement (0°/90°) is not the same as a plain-woven square fabric. Also consider fibre type and areal weight (g/m²).

The measurement across a product from one side to the other, for example for rolls, panels or fabrics. With rolled materials, the usable width may differ from the overall width.
- 1.000 mm
-
The physical thickness of the supplied material, such as a panel, pad, film or foam sheet. This differs from the thickness of a liquid coating applied to a surface.
- Approximately 0.7 mm

Areal weight is the weight of one square metre of dry reinforcement, expressed in g/m² (grams per square metre). For example, 200 g/m² glass fabric contains 200 grams of dry fibres per m², without resin. Areal weight helps with reinforcement selection and resin consumption estimates, but it is not the final laminate thickness.
