Chopped Strands

Fiberglass Chopped Strand is made by cutting continuous strands of fiberglass into short lengths, typically ranging from 3mm to 50mm. It is a widely used reinforcement material in composites due to its high strength, durability, and resistance to heat and corrosion.

Key Properties:

High tensile strength

Excellent impact resistance

Good chemical and moisture resistance

Non-corrosive

Lightweight

Common Uses of Fiberglass Chopped Strand:

1. Concrete and Mortar Reinforcement

Improves crack resistance

Enhances impact strength

Increases durability in flooring, walls, and precast components

2. Plastics and Thermosetting Resins

Used in SMC (Sheet Molding Compounds), BMC (Bulk Molding Compounds)

Adds mechanical strength to thermoplastics and thermosets

3. Automotive Industry

Used in making bumpers, dashboards, and engine covers

Lightweight yet strong—ideal for fuel efficiency

4. Construction

Reinforces GRC (Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete) products like wall panels, facades

Used in waterproofing and fireproofing applications

5. Electrical and Electronic

Used in insulating materials and electrical enclosures due to non-conductive properties

6. Marine and Aerospace

Adds strength to composites used in boats and aircraft interior parts
