PRODUCT INFORMATION

M113

Chopped Strand Mat for Hand-Lay Up

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This product is produced using Advantex® glass fiber. Advantex® glass fiber combines the electrical and mechanical properties of traditional E-glass with the acid corrosion resistance of E-CR glass.

The M113 chopped strand mat is made with medium size strands of Advantex® Glass Roving for boats, held together by a powder binder which is extremely soluble in styrene.

The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling agent. This multi-purpose mat is used in numerous applications; this explains the extensive range of weights and widths available.
