Mat and reinforcements

Chopped strand mat and woven cloth for laminating.

Common questions

What is fibreglass mat used for?
Fibreglass mat is used as reinforcement in composite laminating systems. When combined with resin, it provides structural strength and durability for fibreglass parts, repairs and composite fabrication.
What is the difference between fibreglass mat and fibreglass cloth?
Fibreglass mat is made from randomly oriented fibres that provide bulk and thickness in laminates, while fibreglass cloth uses woven fibres that provide directional strength and a smoother finish.
What resin is used with fibreglass mat?
Fibreglass mat is commonly used with polyester resin and vinyl ester resin for laminating and composite fabrication. It can also be used in certain epoxy systems depending on the binder type.
How many layers of fibreglass mat are needed for repairs?
The number of layers required depends on the strength needed and the thickness of the original laminate. Multiple layers are typically applied to rebuild the structural strength of damaged fibreglass components.
