Chopped felts are mainly used in hand lay up, continuous plate making, mold pressing and SMC processes.
continuous strand mat
The glass precursor formed in the process of wire drawing or the continuous precursor discharged from the precursor cylinder is laid on the continuous moving mesh belt in the shape of 8 and bonded by powder binder. The fibers in the continuous glass fiber mat are continuous, so its reinforcement effect on composite materials is better than that of the short cut mat.
Mainly used in pultrusion, RTM, pressure bag and Glass mat Reinforced thermoplastics( GMT )And other processes.
Surface felt
FRP products usually need to form a resin rich layer, which is generally achieved by using the medium alkali glass surface mat. This kind of mat is made of medium alkali glass (C), so it gives FRP chemical resistance, especially acid resistance. At the same time, because the mat is thin and the diameter of glass fiber is smaller, it can absorb more resin to form Resin rich layer , covering the glass Fiber reinforced materials (such as checkered cloth) Modificatory effect
