The most common form of reinforcement used with polyester resin for hand lay up. Strands of glass fibre are held together by an emulsion binder to form a mat. Supplied on a roll usually 92 cm wide in grades of various thickness expressed in weight per metre. Three most used are 300gm, 450gm and 600gm per m². Polyester resin dissolves the binder allowing the fibres to follow the mould contours. A usual GRP structure would contain 2.5 kg resin to 1kg CSM. This section contains CSM tapes, powder bound CSM, surface tissue and grade 2 CSM. |

Spherecore is a microsphere filled, random laid, polyester core fabric with excellent conformability, which is used as a laminate bulking and print-control mat.
