Powder CSM represents an ideal solution for demanding applications requiring good surface finish and exceptional mechanical properties, in hand lay-up or closed mold processes. Made of fine-medium tex multi-chop strands randomly dispersed and bonded together with a highly soluble polyester powder binder.
advantages & characteristics
Very good glass bonding provides excellent dry handling characteristics and minimized fiber shedding during the molding process. Fast wetting and quick air release help reducing the labor required to roll out the part. Exceptional wet tensile strength perfectly fits the wet and carrying process. Optimized product design allows good surface finish and smooth surface behind Gelcoat while providing the final part with exceptional tensile and flexural performances. Helps with enhanced service life in applications facing corrosion.
