Product Introduction
M6-A Stitched Mats are composed of chopped E-fiberglass strands that are stitched together into mats with an organic yarn. These mats are used primarily for hand lay-up, pultrusion, RTM, and filament winding process, etc. Their many excellent characteristics have been used to provide superior performance in a broad range of end-use markets such as marine, transportation, recreation, construction, consumer and anti-corrosion.

Product Description
M6-A Stitched Mats are designed to be compatible in unsaturated polyester system. They offer easy handling, high conformability, high resin permeability and fast wet-out. This reduces processing time and increases productivity in resin transfer, vacuum-assist and press molding methods. To help ensure the quality of customers’ products, the quality management programs of manufacturing M6-A Stitched Mats is controlled under the requirements of ISO 9001.

Packaging
M6-A Stitched Mats are wound into a roll on a cardboard inner tube with an inside diameter of 7.2cm (2.8"). All densities are 30cm (12") in diameter. Each roll is wrapped with a plastic bag and placed in a cardboard box. 12 boxes are placed vertically on a pallet, which is stretch wrapped.

Storage
Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to store fiberglass products in a cool, dry area. Temperature should not exceed 35°C (95°F) and the relative humidity should be kept below 75%. Fiberglass products must remain in packaging material until just prior to its use. If these conditions are respected, the glass fiber product should not undergo significant changes when stored for extended periods of time.

Stacking
To ensure safety and avoid damage to the product, skids should not be stacked more than two high. When stacking two pallets high, care should be taken to correctly and smoothly place the top pallet.
