3B Fibreglass M8630

3B Fiberglass M8630 is a non-woven mat made out of ECR glass _x005F_x001e_laments, consisting of continuous _x005F_x001e_bres randomly oriented in multiple layers. The glass _x005F_x001e_bre is bonded with a silane coupling agent and the layers are held together with a suitable binder. The M8630 family products contain an insoluble binder compatible with a large range of thermoset matrices like both un_x005F_x001e_lled or _x005F_x001e_lled unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy and polyurethane resin systems. The M8630 emulsion mat is ideally suited for matched metal die molding, RTM and S-RIM processes for molding _x005F_x001f_at, large and heavy panels or non complex parts. The excellent mechanical properties provided by 3B CFM combined with the good electri-cal properties of the resins make the molded parts attractive for applications like electrical apparatus (high voltage), transportation industries and infrastruc-tures equipments.

Materials Features
Product Highlights
  • Integrity and rigidity of the mat
  • Porosity
  • Designed for large panel production
  • Can be unrolled, cut and conveyed to the mold without loosing mat integrity even with large parts
  • Easy to tailor to shape design without causing wrinkles or leaving resin-rich radii, which may cause craking
  • Resist to relocation in the mold under pressure and resin flow (wash resistance)
  • Little resistance to resin flow for an easy and fast wet-through, even with filled resin

Packaging & Availability

Packaging

The 3B Continuous Filament Mat is wound on a hard carton tube with an inside hole of 102 mm and an external dia-meter of 110 mm. A PE stretch _x001e_ lm is wrapped around the roll to protect the material during handling and to help the slicing. All 3B CFM rolls have 2 sides trimmed.The outside diameter of the roll is a standard of 55 cm.· For mat widths up to 210 mm:6 vertical rolls per pallet· For mat widths above 210 mm:6 horizontal rolls per pallet

Storage & Handling

Storage

Storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original packaging is formally recommended. More precisely ideal storage conditions are a temperature between 15°C and 35°C and a relative humidity comprised between 35% and 75%. If these conditions are maintained, the glass _x001e_ bre product should not undergo signi_x001e_ cant changes when stored for extended periods of time. It is also strongly recommended to condition it in the workshop for at least 24 hours before use to prevent condensation.For an optimal processing we recommend to use the product in ambient conditions (20°C-23°C and a relative humidity of 60%-65%).
