Dymriton Composites has recently introduced a new chopped strand mat (CSM) in its FRP range of reinforcements. This CSM includes a lightweight integrated polyester surface veil and is manufactured using Dymriton’s exclusive technology, which eliminates the need for stitching or a chemical binder. It is available in a variety of weights, ranging from 225g/m2 to 600g/m2, and is supplied in rolls of 1,270mm, with customized widths also possible.

This premium CSM offers several advantages over its competitors and is intended for applications that were once costly and required multiple processes. The benefits of this product include:

Superior surface finish, along with standard osmosis and chemical protection found in all Dymriton reinforcements.

Chemical binder-free production, permits the use of non-styrenated resin systems and compatibility with a broader range of matrices.

100mm chopped fiber, which is twice as much as most of its competitors.

Faster production and enhanced laminate quality.

Dymriton’s premium chopped strand mat (CSM) is designed with integral cold-formable behavior, allowing it to be applied without waiting to introduce it to deeper geometries of mold cavities. It is compatible with a variety of matrices including polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyurethane, making it an ideal choice for marine hulls and hard tops. Dymriton’s CSM has gained approvals from major boat builders worldwide.

The premium chopped strand mat (CSM) is a material that can be used in both pultrusion and infusion processes for various applications such as pipes, train parts, pultruded profiles, window frames, marine applications, architectural structures, and tubes/pipes. Architectural profiles often require a smooth aesthetic finish, and it can meet those requirements.

This premium CSM improves lamination quality, demonstrated in swimming pool production to resist blistering and osmosis for up to 26 weeks at 55°C. Its integrated surface veil ensures that glass fibers are held in place during laminating, resulting in a consistent thickness and no risk of thin, weak patches in corners or over-worked areas.

Furthermore, this CSM allows for the elimination of styrene, reducing the presence of volatile organic compounds and making it more environmentally friendly and compatible with sustainable resin systems.

Dymriton’s premium CSM offers unprecedented protection against osmosis and chemical erosion for maritime and other relevant constructions, while delivering smooth surface finishes at a lower cost. As a leader in innovative reinforcements, Dymriton continues to provide the highest quality products in this space.
