Glass fibre fleece
- Improves chemical resistance
- Provides a smooth finish
- Suitable for polyester and epoxy
Glass fleece (fine glass fibre fleece) is used under gelcoat to create a resin-rich barrier layer that prevents "print through". This print through is the printing of the structure of the fibre through the gelcoat, making the fibre mats used visible on the outside of the product as a slight relief. This is undesirable in visible products but also in moulds, for example.
Glass fleece can also be used as the final layer to laminate fibre. This gives a flatter and smoother surface. Finally, you can create a resinous layer with glass fleece, for example to increase the chemical resistance of a product. In that case, vinylester resin is usually used.
You can use glass fleece in combination with polyester resin, vinylester resin and epoxy resin.
