CSM Emulsion is made of randomly oriented chopped glass strands bonded together in mat form using an emulsion binder.
The emulsion binder uniquely bonds the mat so that it conforms rapidly to highly contoured molds. It is a porous, well bonded mat which maintains its integrity during the impregnation process and provides a uniform wet-through rate.
advantages & characteristics
Excellent impregnation properties
Quick wetting with rapid air release maximizes holding productivity and reduces resin demand, thereby reducing costs
Excellent conformability
The ease of handling and ability to conform rapidly to complex molds helps in making high quality parts with ease
Good mechanical properties
Good bonding with low resin
