MAT M710B FOR HAND LAY-UP

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

M710B is a randomly oriented chopped strand mat product composed of multi length glass fiber strands. The
strands are coated with a silane coupling agent and are bonded together in mat form using a small amount of highly
soluble polyester powder.
M 710B is produced using Advantex® glass fiber. Advantex glass fiber combines the electrical and mechanical
properties of traditional E glasses with the acid corrosion resistance of E-CR glass. Advantex® meets the
requirements stated of both E and E-CR glass in both ISO 2078 and ASTM D578-98.

2. USE

M710B is designed to be compatible with polyester, epoxy and vinylester resins and used both as gel coat backup
and standard laminate reinforcement for most contact molding applications where quick wetting, rapid air release,
good conformability and low resin consumption are desired.
