PRODUCT INFORMATION

M153

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 M153 chopped strand mat is made with large or high 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 sizing system of the strands and the nature of the binder also make M153 suitable for use with epoxy, vinylester and anticorrosion resins for boats.
