Chopped Strand Mat Emulsion
CSM Emulsion most established reinforcement in composites
CSM Emulsion is made of randomly oriented chopped glass strands bonded together in mat form using an emulsion binder.
The emulsion binder uniquely bonds the mat so that it conforms rapidly to highly contoured molds.
The emulsion binder uniquely bonds the mat so that it conforms rapidly to highly contoured molds.
It is a porous, well bonded mat which maintains its integrity during the impregnation process and provides a uniform wet-through rate.
Product Features
