Chopped E-glass strand mat
EM series Krosglass

Mat EM 1002 with densities of 100, 150, 225 g/m2 is manufactured from chopped strands made of glass fibre bound together with an emulsion binder and drawn from E glass containing less than 1% of alkalies. The diameter of filament is 9 µm. The mat has a reduced strand linear density (tex) and the surface weight (density) comparing to the standard emulsion mat. It is very soft and it sets very well in a mould taking perfectly its very complicated shapes. It is characterised by a medium wet-out rate in a non-saturated polyester resin and by a good ability to remove air in the process of lamination.

Application

Emulsion bound mat EM 1002 with surface weights of 100 g/m2,150 g/m2 225 g/m2 is suitable for making laminates in a contact process. It is used with all types of non-saturated polyester resins for manufacturing products reinforced with glass fibre. It suites especially for manufacturing gel coated products as their reinforcement. It is also particularly recommended as the external layer of laminate in case of products with improved aesthetics of the surface.
