Q. What is "ACR" Glass and how does it compare to "E" Glass?
A. The material that we use to produce our mat is an industrial recycled "A" glass product. The major difference between "A" and "E" glass is in the proportion of some of the constituents utilized to manufacture the glass, i.e., Sodium Oxide, Aluminum Oxide, and Calcium Oxide. These differences provide "A" glass with significant improvements in corrosion resistance performance in acidic environments in comparison to "E" glass. We also surface treat our fibers during the fiber attenuation stage of the manufacturing process. This procedure permits our mats to achieve mechanical properties that approximate those achieved with "E" glass.
Q. Which process is continuous strand mat mostly used in?
A. Continuous Strand Mat is utilized in the following "closed" molding processes:
- Resin Transfer Molding
- Vacuum Infusion
- Cold Press Molding
- Reinforced Reaction Injection Molding
