Use the specifications below to start a technical inquiry, then confirm a grade against your resin, process and finished-part requirements.
Request a Material Recommendation
Choose a reinforcement format for your inquiry
Start with your production process and laminate design. These formats serve different roles; matching only tex or area weight does not establish equivalence.
| Material family | When to discuss it | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Direct roving | Continuous reinforcement inquiries for winding or pultrusion | Fiber type, tex, sizing, resin system and equipment |
| Spray-up roving | Chopper-gun spray-up applications | Tex, chopping equipment, resin and required handling behavior |
| Chopped strand mat | Mat layers in hand lay-up and other suitable processes | Area weight, binder type, roll width and resin compatibility |
| Woven roving | Woven reinforcement in a defined laminate | Area weight, weave, width and laminate construction |
| Multiaxial fabrics | Reinforcement with specified fiber directions | Orientation, layer weights, stitching and resin system |
| Surface veil | A specified surface-layer requirement | Glass or polyester fiber, area weight, finish and resin compatibility |
Already using a material? Send its current grade and technical data sheet, identify the properties that must remain equivalent, and ask for a comparison before approving a replacement.
Request a grade comparison, technical data or evaluation sample
How to read the specifications: values are options listed in the sample catalogue, not a stock commitment or a guarantee for every grade. UP means unsaturated polyester, VE vinyl ester, EP epoxy and PU polyurethane. Confirm grade-specific sizing and resin compatibility with the proposed technical data sheet.
Open-molding materials
For hand lay-up and spray-up, define the resin system, reinforcement construction, area weight and application equipment together. Surface and core materials should be selected as part of the laminate system.

Questions buyers should resolve before ordering
Can I obtain a price without a complete specification?
Send what you know: application, process, current material, estimated quantity and destination. Identify which details need clarification. A quotation should state the proposed grade and specification so that comparisons are meaningful.
What technical documents should I request?
Ask for the technical data sheet applicable to the proposed grade, relevant test documentation and safety data where required. If a batch certificate, independent test or project-specific approval is needed, include that requirement in your inquiry and confirm availability before ordering.
How should I evaluate an alternative grade?
Agree on the critical specifications and acceptance criteria first. Confirm sample availability and evaluate compatibility, handling and finished-part results in your actual production process. A similar name or catalogue weight alone does not establish equivalence.
What affects minimum order, lead time and delivered cost?
Grade, dimensions, quantity, packaging, production arrangements and destination can affect the proposal. Ask for the minimum order, sample costs, lead time, delivery basis and named location, freight arrangements, payment terms and quotation validity. Confirm which charges are included.
What if I need a material not shown in the product catalogue?
Describe the required material and application, and attach a reference specification if available. We can discuss sourcing requirements; suitability, documentation and supply arrangements must be confirmed for the proposed material.
Prepare an effective material inquiry
- Identify the process and end use. Describe your part, profile, panel or construction application.
- Specify the reinforcement. Include fiber type, tex or area weight, orientation, width and required tolerances.
- Define the complete system. Provide the resin, surface, core and process-consumable requirements relevant to the project.
- Share evaluation criteria. Attach current technical data, reference grades and the performance or acceptance standards that must be met.
- Plan supply. Include estimated quantity, packaging, destination and required delivery date.
Request confirmation of the selected grade, technical data, evaluation availability, minimum order and delivery terms before placing an order.
