Chopped strand matChopped Strand Mat sits behind a lot of working hulls, tanks and panels because it lays up fast, conforms well and gives a predictable laminate when the geometry is unfussy. Yards and fabricators choose it where productivity matters as much as the headline mechanical numbers.View 3mm Chopped Fibreglass Strands3 mm E-glass chopped strands with a silane sizing for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester systems, engineered for BMC and premix moulding where strand integrity and impact performance matter.CFX-300View Biax 300 ±45° Glass FabricBiax 300 is a high-strength composite reinforcement fabric with non-crimped ±45° fibre orientation.

Made in the UK to ISO 9001, lightweight and maintenance-free.View OvercoatOvercoat liquid roofing system: one flexible, atmospheric-cure resin that repairs, refurbishes and recovers almost any roof. Watertight in around 30 minutes.View Multiaxial fabricsMultiaxial fabrics place the fibre exactly where the load runs. Layers of unidirectional glass or carbon are laid at set angles and stitched together, so the reinforcement goes into the mould already oriented rather than being built up ply by ply. Fabricators reach for them where laminate performance and layup speed both matter, from wind blades and marine hulls to structural panels.View Fibremat 100 Chopped Strand MattingFibremat 100 is a high-quality, emulsion-bound, chopped-strand mat designed for reliable reinforcement in liquid-applied roofing, moulding, and general fibreglass laminating work.

Specification supportSpecification decisions made early shape weight, durability, cost and the certification path of an entire project. Getting them wrong is expensive to unwind once tooling, sourcing and approvals are locked in.View Technical consultancySome jobs need more than a data sheet. A bonded joint that fails on test, a laminate schedule that is too heavy, a new product that has to ship on a fixed date. The fastest route through is usually a short, focused conversation with a specialist who has seen the problem before.View Product sourcingVolume programmes and long-running production lines do not need another link in the chain. They need an accountable sourcing route, with the right price, the right lead time and quality records that survive audit.View Materials testingComposite materials testing and qualification through a UKAS accredited UK partner laboratory: mechanical, fire, environmental and thermal, quoted per job.View
