Applications
CFM is used in many FRP applications such as pultrusion, high pressure laminating, vacuum
infusion, and several resin injection molding processes (SRIM, RTM, etc.). It is highly suitable for
compression molded electrical and nonelectrical laminates. In infusion processes CFM makes
an unparalleled flow media. Pultruded shapes made with Huntingdon Fiberglass Products
CFM have outstanding transverse and random direction strengths. Typical applications include:
electrical flat sheet, grating and railings, window frames, heavy truck and RV bodies, boat hulls
and transoms, wind turbines, structural beams, etc.
Packaging
Huntingdon Fiberglass Products CFM products are wound on a 4 inch (10.16cm) ID cardboard core.
The resulting rolls are individually wrapped in polyethylene. The pallet is covered with a cap and
stretch-wrapped.
Customer focused Marble melt process offering the
flexibility for custom products and a dedicated workforce
providing a rapid design turn around.

Huntingdon Fiberglass Products Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) is a unique glass fiber reinforcement product used as
an input in the production of flat sheet laminate, marine and automotive parts, as well as other structural products
where its strength and durability make it the most cost-effective material to use. CFM increases the mechanical
performance of products, such as their multi-axial strength and stiffness, as well as their resistance to chemicals.
Product D escription
CFM is made from continuous fiberglass strands randomly looped and bonded
together with different minimal binders that are compatible with a variety of unfilled or
filled resin systems including PE/PV, PE/PU, Phenolic, PU, PU/Epoxy. This mat can be manufactured
in many different areal weights and widths as well as in large or small quantities.
Key F eatures
Flow Media/Porosity offers little resistance to resin flow to allow for easy and
complete resin impregnation, resulting in high line speeds and the ability to infuse larger
parts by using it as the flow media.
Excellent Wet -Out improves the ability to coat individual glass filaments and strands.
High Tensile Strength inherent integrated strength provided by marble melt process;
resists being pulled apart under tension during impregnation and molding in all directions.
Roll Slitting mat rolls can be easily slit into various widths.
Manageable can be unrolled, cut and conveyed to the mold or die without losing
its integrity.
