Wet Chopped Strand

Product Overview

3B’s Wet Chopped Strands are coated E‑CR glass fiber filaments engineered specifically for wet-process, non-woven applications. These strands disperse rapidly and uniformly in aqueous “white water” systems—ideal for wet-laid mat and veil production. 

Key Benefits

• Excellent strength & dimensional stability, maintaining integrity through varying temperature and humidity conditions 

• Broad chemical resistance, making them suitable for diverse environments 

• Quick and uniform dispersion in acidic, neutral, or basic water-based bonding systems 

• Excellent compatibility with fibrous carriers like wood, paper, and polyester – enhancing mat properties
  
  

Typical Applications

• Roofing mats and roof tiles

• Printed circuit board (PCB) reinforcement

• Filtration media (e.g. filters, acoustic tiles)

• Vinyl-coated flooring production
