How to Fiberglass Boats: Fiberglass Materials
Regardless of the chemical composition, the glass filaments are made into materials known as “fiberglass”. These materials include cloth (or “fabric”), various mats, rovings, woven rovings, and specialty materials that may combine two or more of these materials into one, or orient fibers in one or more directions in a [...]
Fiberglass Assembled Rovings Introduction
Assembled rovings are compatible with polyester, vinylester, phenolic and epoxy resins.
Assembled rovings are specially designed as reinforcement for FRP pipes, pressure vessels, gratings, profiles, panels and sealing materias and, when converted into woven rovings, for boats and chemical storage tanks.
Fiberglass Assembled Rovings Production
Assembled rovings are produced by combining a certain number of [...]
Fiberglass Cloth, Mat, Roving and Tape – for Epoxy or Polyester
Fiberglass fabrics have been developed for many marine, industrial and household purposes. Consequently, there are different types of fabrics – i.e., CLOTH, MAT and ROVING. Each type has special characteristics suited to fill a specific need. On this page we describe each type of fabric in order that you may select the one best suited for your project.

An easy, Practical method of Protecting your boat.
1. Tools
A disc sander with coarse discs for the rough work and medium discs for finish work. Large scissors for laying out cloth and a razor knife for trimming. For the application of the resin you may choose from a squeegee, brushes, or a roller. You will also need some solvent and detergent. Inexpensive gloves should be used to protect your hands.

Pipe wrap tissue is used as a base material for anti-corrosion wrapping on steel pipelines for oil or gas distribution. It’s compatible with impregnating bitumen and coal tar enamel.
Pipe wrap tissue technical characteristics.
Using the latest technology, translucent chopped strand mats are a special kind of mat used in the production of translucent fiberglass panels. It produces fiberglass panels with excellent transparency and good tensile strength.

E-glass continuous filament mat is made from continuous fiberglass strands randomly looped and bonded together with a small amount of binder.
Continuous filament mat is used in many FRP structural applications such as pultrusion, filament winding and several fiberglass-molding processes (RTM, etc.). The finished molded products have high equiaxial strengths. Typical products are marine railing, window [...]
To form Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) the chopped strands, about 50mm in length, are evenly laid on the forming belt and are bounded together by a kind of special binder. It is characterised by all-direction reinforcing effects, good resin conformity, easy bulb realise ability, and good form ability while it is applied for F.R.P. by either hand lay-up or laminating process.
Silicone rubber coated fiberglass fabric has excellent properties including
This fabric is made by rolling or impregnating it into organic silicone rubber. This composite material is widely used in construction, electric insulation, flexible tube joints, ducting, in the anti-corrosion, chemical and sealing industries….
Texturized yarns are white, lofted, bulky and pliable yarns with uniformly disoriented but essentially a continuous filament structure.
High strength continuous fiber
Fluffiness as staple fiber
Low thermal conductivity coefficient
High dust accommodation
Copper wire, inconel wire, or stainless wire reinforced fiberglass texturized yarn also available
Applications
Filter cloth
Decorative and insulating fabric
Good replacement for asbestos
