CONTINUOUS STRAND MATS, METHODS OF PRODUCING CONTINUOUS STRAND MATS, AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING CONTINUOUS STRAND MATS

摘要

The present invention relates to continuous strand mats, methods of producing continuous strand mats, and systems for producing continuous strand mats. A continuous strand mat can comprise a layer comprising a plurality of randomly oriented continuous strands of glass fibers and a plurality of stitches through the layer comprising at least one stitch yarn, wherein the stitches secure at least a portion of the plurality of strands to form the mat.
