Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat Acuteye 10yd x 4in 1.5oz Roll

Description

Product Overview

The Acuteye Fiberglass Chopped Strand Mat is engineered for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who demand reliable reinforcement material. Each roll measures 10 yards (30 feet) in length, 4 inches in width, and carries a weight of 1.5 ounces per square foot, providing a balanced combination of strength and flexibility. The mat is manufactured by Acuteye, a trusted name in composite materials, and conforms to industry standards for dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Product dimensions are 360 x 4 x 0.05 inches, weighing approximately 1.1 pounds per roll, making it easy to handle and store. The mat is compatible with epoxy, polyester, and vinylester resin systems, allowing seamless integration into a wide range of repair and molding applications. Its uniform strand distribution ensures consistent load transfer, reducing the risk of weak points during curing.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this chopped strand mat excels in marine, automotive, and construction environments. Boat owners can reinforce hulls, decks, and bulkheads, extending the lifespan of watercraft while preventing osmosis and delamination. In automotive repair, the mat provides a lightweight yet robust substrate for body panel restoration, bumper repairs, and structural patching, especially when combined with high‑performance epoxy. Home improvement professionals use the mat for roof patching, bathtub and sink repairs, and concrete crack reinforcement, benefiting from its waterproof properties and ease of application. The roll format allows users to unroll the material smoothly, lay it flat without creasing, and cut to size with scissors or a utility knife, making on‑site adjustments quick and efficient.

FAQ

What type of resin is compatible with this mat?

The mat works well with epoxy, polyester, and vinylester resins. For best results, follow the resin manufacturer’s mixing and curing guidelines.

Can I use the mat for both repair and new molding projects?

Yes, the uniform strand distribution makes it suitable for repairing existing structures and for creating new composite parts in molds.

How should I store the remaining roll to maintain its quality?

Keep the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the ends with tape or a plastic wrap to prevent moisture absorption.

What is the recommended thickness of resin to apply over the mat?

Apply a resin layer that fully saturates the mat, typically 1‑2 mm for most applications. Adjust thickness based on the specific strength requirements of your project.

Is the mat safe to handle without protective equipment?

While the fibers are non‑hazardous, we recommend wearing gloves and a dust mask during cutting to avoid skin irritation and inhalation of fine particles.
