CFM PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
Continuous Filament Mat (CFM)
AGY Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) is a unique glass
fiber reinforcement product used as an input in the production
of flat sheet laminate, marine parts and
accessories, and other products where its strength and
durability make it the most cost-effective material to use.
CFM increases the mechanical performance, such as
stiffness and strength, of products, as well as their
resistance to chemicals.
Product Description
CFM is made from continuous fiberglass strands randomly
looped and bonded together with a minimal binder that is
compatible with a variety of unfilled or filled resin systems
including PE/PV, PE/PU, Phenolic, PU, PU/Epoxy.
Key Features
• Roll Slitting — mat rolls can be easily slit into various
widths.
• Wet-Through/Porosity — offers little resistance to resin
flow to allow for easy and complete resin impregnation,
resulting in high line speeds.
• Excellent Wet-Out — improves the ability to coat
individual glass filaments and strands.
• Mat Strength — resists being pulled apart under tension
during impregnation and molding.
• Manageable — can be unrolled, cut and conveyed to the
mold or die without losing its integrity.
Applications
CFM is used in many FRP applications such as pultrusion,
high pressure laminating, vacuum infusion, and several
fiberglass-molding processes (SRIM/RTM, etc.). It is particularly
suitable for compression molded electrical and nonelectrical
laminates. Pultruded shapes made with AGY
CFM have outstanding transverse- and random-direction
strength. Typical applications include electrical flat sheet,
grading and railings, window frames, boat hulls and transoms,
cooling tower structural shapes and ladder rails.
Packaging
AGY CFM products are wound on a 4” ID cardboard core.
The resulting rolls are individually wrapped in polyethylene.
The pallet is covered with a cap and stretch-wrapped.
