M113	M113 Powder bound mat is designed for optimum impregnation on processing, and high corrosion resistance, good translucency and surface appearance in the final part.

M123	M123 Powder bound, general purpose, mat intended for those customers asking for easy impregnation and good translucency.

M143	M143 chopped strand mat is made with large or high size strands of E-glass, held together by a powder binder which is extremely soluble in styrene. The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling agent. This sizing system of the strands and the nature of the binder also make M143 suitable for use with epoxy, vinylester and anti-corrosion resins.

M134	M134 Powder bound mat; a new general purpose product designed for fast wetting behaviour.

M153	M153 Powder bonded mat designed for industrial open mould processing, to improve productivity in industrial laminating.

M168	M168 Powder bound mat offering fast impregnation behaviour for flat industrial laminates.

M5	M5 Emulsion bound mat designed for general purpose use in a wide range of applications, offering medium impregnation speed and good conformability to mould shape.

M534	M534 Emulsion bound mat designed for easy mould conformability, and good impregnation properties.

M413	M413 chopped strand mat is made from E-glass chopped strands. They are held together by an emulsion binder which makes it perfectly suitable for use with polyester resins.

M50/1	M50/1 mat is made with chopped strands if E-glass bound with a slow wetting binder; this makes it perfectly suitable for use with polyester resins, wetting first the mat on a bench and then placing it on the mould.

M413P	M134P chopped strand mat is made from E-glass chopped strands. They are held together by an emulsion binder which gives a good compatibility with polyurethane foam.

M50	M50 mat is made with chopped strands of E-glass bound with an emulsion; this makes it perfectly suitable for use with polyester resins.

M5 Lorcet	M5 chopped strand mat is made from E-glass chopped strands. They are held together by an emulsion binder, soluble in styrene, which gives M5 an excellent compatibility with UP resins.

M113 Lorcet	M113 chopped strand mat is made with very fine strands of E-glass, held together by a powder binder which is extremely soluble in styrene. The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling agent.This multi-purpose mat is used in numerous applications; this explains the extensive range of weights and widths available.

M123 Lorcet	M123 chopped strand mat is made with medium size strands of E-glass, held together by a powder binder which is extremely soluble in styrene. The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling agent. This sizing system of the strands and the nature of the binder also make M123 suitable for use with epoxy, vinylester and anti-corrosion resins.

M568	M568 chopped strand mat is made from E-glass chopped strands. They are held together by an emulsion binder, soluble in styrene, which gives M568 an excellent compatibility with UP resins. The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling system.

M5CW	M5CW chopped strand mat is made from E-glass chopped strands. They are held together by an emulsion binder, soluble in styrene, which gives M5CW an excellent compatibility with UP resins. The basic strand has a sizing system containing a silane coupling system.

	APPLICATIONS

	A long list of transport applications such as refrigerated trucks, delivery vans, caravans, … also flat laminates in the building & construction sector. In marine applications, most boat builders in Europe use mats for laminate construction.
