Emulsion bound glass (E glass) is made from strands of glass filaments held together with an emulsion binder. Mostly used in the hand-lay-up (HLU) process but can also be used in compression moulding and various laminating processes.
Benefits include:
• Ease of use, ensuring good mould lay-up and conformability
• Uniform density to provide a consistent and high quality composite product
• Fast wet out in resins, ensuring the end product has the required integrity and strengths
E glass chopped strand mat is traditionally used with unsaturated polyester and vinylester. E glass with chemical resistance, also known as ECR, can be used with epoxy resins in the manufacture of panels, boats, car parts, water tanks etc.
