Fiberglass Stitched Mat is a type of reinforcement material commonly used in composite manufacturing, especially in the fabrication of fiberglass products. It consists of fiberglass strands that are stitched together rather than woven, creating a mat. This mat is typically used in hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, and resin infusion processes to reinforce the composite structure, adding strength and durability.
FEATURE
Higher Strength:
The continuous strands in stitched mats provide superior tensile strength compared to chopped strand mats. This results in stronger finished products.
Reduced Print Through:
The absence of a chemical binder and the presence of continuous strands minimize the occurrence of print-through, leading to a smoother finish on the final product.
Better Drapeability:
The stitched nature of the mat allows it to conform more easily to complex shapes and curves, making it ideal for intricate molds.
Improved Wet-Out:
The mat’s structure allows for faster and more consistent resin absorption, which is crucial in achieving an even distribution of resin throughout the composite.
Reduced Weight:
Since it often requires less resin to achieve the same strength, products made with fiberglass stitched mat can be lighter than those made with other types of mats.
APPLICATION
Marine Industry:
Construction of boat hulls and decks where high strength and good surface finish are essential.
Automotive:
Components like hoods, spoilers, and other body parts where lightweight and strength are key factors.
Wind Energy:
Manufacturing of wind turbine blades which require materials that are strong, lightweight, and able to withstand environmental factors.
Sports Equipment:
High-performance items like surfboards, snowboards, and other recreational equipment.
Industrial Applications:
Production of large tanks and storage vessels, especially where chemical resistance and strength are important.
