Product overview
Select cut length and sizing for the actual process
Chopped glass strands are not the same as chopped strand mat. They are supplied as loose, discrete fibers and must be selected according to resin chemistry, dispersion method, target fiber length and processing conditions.
Product identification
- Loose, discrete E-glass strands
- Cut length selected by application
- Sizing must match the resin system
- Suitable for compatible compounds and molding processes
- Dispersion should be validated before production
- Specifications confirmed by supplied grade
How to use
- Choose fiber length and sizing for the matrix: thermoplastics, BMC, SMC, concrete, plaster or other systems.
- Add fiber gradually to avoid clumping; do not overmix, which breaks fibers.
- Check dispersion and flow of the mix after adding fiber.
Storage
Store dry; moisture pickup can reduce dispersion and adhesion to the resin.
Technical note
Confirm cut length, filament diameter, moisture, sizing compatibility, bulk density and processing conditions from the current product specification before use.
