- Advantages
The benefit from the usage of CSM lies in the easiness of its handling. CSM has light specific weight, it is well formed and it shapes easily. The process is becoming labor saving. CSM is characterized by good impregnation with polyether resins and it is perfect for deaeration during laminating. Laminates fabricated from CSM can boast of good mechanical properties as well as superb resistance to continuous weather impact.
