A shared weight does not mean a shared performance.

Keep the tables separate

Compare the technical requirements for the selected construction and weight. Do not use one material’s performance table as proof for another.

Identify the reference sample

Specify the actual reinforcement, grade and intended membrane. A clear sample identity helps connect the trial to the quotation.

Plan the finished roll

Polyester formats use common 1010 / 1020 mm widths. Confirm the actual width, length, diameter and packing for the order.

Buyer answers

Questions before a production order

Is composite base mat the same as polyester reinforcement?

No. Confirm the composite material structure and the selected grade. The two product pages retain separate specifications and technical requirements.

Can I compare both by basis weight alone?

No. Equal basis weight does not establish equal tensile, elongation, tear or dimensional performance.

Which grade should I request?

Send your membrane type, reinforcement specification, required width, technical requirements, quantity and existing sample information.
