What is Glass Mat?

A glass mat, also referred to as a glass veil, is a non-woven material consisting of randomly sized fiberglass. These glass fibers are aligned vertically, allowing the electrolyte to permeate through the glass mat and permitting the escape of hydrogen gas. The fibers are uniformly distributed and bonded together using organic additives. Among the available bonding methods, emulsion-bonded glass mats offer benefits such as easy air removal, rapid resin impregnation, good surface bonding, high strand integrity, improved aesthetics of composite parts, and low resin consumption.
