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.
