Carbon Fiber Chopped Strand Mat, abbreviated as CFCSM, is a non-woven mat product made of chopped carbon fiber strands. It is produced by cutting glass fibers into short lengths of approximately 50 millimeters, uniformly distributing them in a random direction, and bonding them into a mat-like form using polyester powder or polyester emulsion binder.

CFCSM boasts a range of excellent performance characteristics. Firstly, it has a uniform mass per unit area and is free from stains, impurities, and other defects, ensuring overall material quality. Secondly, CFCSM possesses moderate hardness and good flexibility, making it convenient to handle and use. Furthermore, it is easily and completely impregnable, resulting in fewer bubbles and excellent processability, providing favorable conditions for subsequent processing.

Additionally, CFCSM exhibits excellent mold-filling and mold-covering capabilities, suitable for shaping complex-shaped products. Its mechanical properties and chemical resistance are also outstanding, enabling CFCSM to maintain stable performance in various environments.

In summary, Carbon Fiber Chopped Strand Mat is a non-woven mat product made of chopped carbon fiber strands, characterized by its uniform mass per unit area, moderate hardness, good flexibility, easy impregnation, excellent processability, mold-filling and mold-covering capabilities, as well as superior mechanical properties and chemical resistance.
