3B Continuous Filament Mat is a non-woven mat made out of ECR glass filaments, consisting of continuous fibres randomly oriented in multiple layers. The glass fibre is bonded with a silane coupling agent and the layers held together with a suitable binder. The CM 6060 family of products contain an insoluble binder compatible with a large range of thermoset matrices like both unfilled or filled unsaturated polyester (UP), vinyl ester (VE) and epoxy (EP). CM 6060 mats are characterised by their white colour and are ideally suited for pultrusion processes for wide, long and heavy parts but as well for narrow and complex profiles. The excellent mechanical properties provided by 3B CFM combined with the good electrical properties of the resins make the pultruded parts attractive for the electrical apparatus (high voltage), transportation industries, and infrastructure equipment.

Advantex® glass is a boron-free glass and presents significantly improved corrosion resistance across a wide range of aggressive environments. Advantex® glass is an E-CR glass in accordance with ASTM D578 and ISO 2078. This translates into important benefits for end-users over traditional E glass: longer service life, larger safety coefficients for the same design, and material savings. Traditional E-glass includes boron and often contains added fluorides. By using new manufacturing technology to eliminate these components from the glass composition, Advantex® glass has become a benchmark for integrated pollution prevention and the highest energy efficiency, all in an optimized process. 3B measures its efforts and works continually to minimize its impact on the environment and to set new standards within the global fibreglass industry. This is our commitment.
