MAT EMULSION W CHOPPED STRAND (CSM) COIL 125 CM

What is MAT EMULSION W CHOPPED STRAND (CSM) COIL 125 CM and why choose it

The MAT EMULSION W CHOPPED STRAND (CSM) COIL 125 CM from Laminados y complementos is a fiberglass chopped strand mat supplied in a continuous coil with a width of 125 cm. It is designed for use in composite laminating with polyester or similar resins, offering good adaptability to curves and reinforcements in hulls, decks, tanks and other molded parts. The emulsion binder helps the mat maintain integrity when handled dry and allows rapid wet-out once resin is applied.

Because it is delivered in coil format, it is suitable for workshops and professional laminators who need to cover large surfaces efficiently, optimizing cutting and reducing material waste. All characteristics described below are based on the typical use of emulsion-bound chopped strand mat products and may not be fully specific or verified for this exact reference; the official technical data sheet from Laminados y complementos should be consulted for precise values.

Main features

• Chopped strand fiberglass mat (CSM): Non-woven reinforcement made from randomly oriented glass fiber strands, ideal as base layers in composite laminates. (General feature inferred from product type, not individually verified for this reference.)
• Emulsion binder: The strands are held together with an emulsion-type binder that provides good handling in dry form and allows fast resin impregnation when wet-out begins. (General feature inferred from the term "emulsion" in the name.)
• Coil format: Supplied in a continuous roll (coil) to facilitate application on large surfaces and improve cutting efficiency in professional workshops.
• Width 125 cm: Standard width that balances easy handling with good surface coverage, reducing the number of overlaps required on medium and large parts.
• Compatible with laminating resins: Intended for use in composite laminates with appropriate resins (typically polyester, vinylester or similar, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications). Exact compatibility must be confirmed in the official datasheet.
• Versatile reinforcement: Commonly used in marine, industrial, repair and general composite applications where a conventional chopped strand mat is required. These uses are generic to similar CSM mats and not individually certified for this specific product.
