225gsm Chopped Stand Mat (CSM) – Powder Bound

Pack Type: Per Metre | 2m Pack | 10m Roll

Chopped strand mat builds thickness and bonds layers together. 225gsm is suited to layering especially on curves and detailed areas.

Features:

  • Powder bound – compatible with epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester
  • 225gsm CSM is a lightweight mat that is easy to wet out
  • Shapes easily around curves, contours and detailed areas

Technical Snapshot:

  • Fibre type: E‑glass
  • Binder: Powder bound
  • Weight: 225gsm
  • Width: 1000 mm

Quick Tips:

  • Dry cut CSM before mixing up your resin to avoid sticky gloves, wasted time and a messy lay-up
  • Wet out one layer at a time and apply next layer while wet.  For thicker laminates, build in stages (typically 2-4 layers at a time) to avoid excess heat when the resin cures
  • Choose the right weight of CSM for each part of your build:
    • 100gsm – acts like a surface tissue
    • 225gsm – gives controlled layering and helps reduce the risk of voids and bridging
    • 300gsm – shapes well around curves and detail
    • 450gsm – balances build up speed and ease of shaping

A few words on safety:

  • Glass fibres will irritate your skin and lungs.  Wear gloves, long sleeves and mask when handling and sanding
