Chopped Strand Fibreglass Mat 450gsm

Chopped Strand Fibreglass Mat 450gsm is a versatile reinforcement material used in fibreglass laminating and composite fabrication. The mat is made from randomly oriented chopped glass fibres bonded together with a resin soluble binder, allowing it to easily conform to curved surfaces and complex mould shapes during lay up.

The 450gsm weight provides a balance between flexibility and structural strength, making it one of the most commonly used reinforcement mats in fibreglass manufacturing and repair work. When saturated with polyester or vinyl ester resin, the fibres form a strong laminate layer that improves durability and overall structural integrity.

Supplied in a convenient 1 metre pack, chopped strand matting is widely used in boat building, automotive fibreglass repairs and general composite fabrication.

KEY FEATURES:

• 450gsm chopped strand fibreglass reinforcement mat
  
• Random fibre orientation for uniform laminate strength
  
• Flexible mat that conforms to curved surfaces and mould shapes
  
• Compatible with polyester and vinyl ester resin systems
  
• Supplied as a convenient 1 metre pack

COMMON APPLICATIONS:

• Fibreglass laminating and composite fabrication
  
• Boat building and marine repairs
  
• Automotive fibreglass repairs
  
• Mould making and composite part production
  
• Industrial composite manufacturing

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Cut the chopped strand mat to the required size and position it onto the prepared mould or surface. Apply resin evenly until the fibres are fully saturated and use a laminating roller to remove trapped air and consolidate the laminate.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling fibreglass materials including gloves, eye protection and a suitable dust mask.
