    I found that CSM means Chopped strand mat.

    But I still cannot find anything about the rest.

    The most likely the translation is:

    EU1600 = E-glass Unidirectional, 1600 grams/sq. meter

    CSM600 = Chopped Strand Mat, 600 grams/sq. meter

    DB600 = Double Bias (+/-45 deg weave), 600 grams/sq.meter

    These appear to be European designations, so someone in Europe may correct me.

    Also, does anyone know about a material named Aramat 72k/200 0/90o(degrees) ??

    It would be very helpful too, if someone could explain the numbers.

    thank you.

    Well...
    Ara- aramid? Mat- mat? 72k- fibers per yarn? 200- areal weight (g/m2)? 0˚/90˚- fiber orientation in fabric?

    Eric,

    Just to be a petulant arse,

    DB probably knitted rather than woven.

    That's what I meant. You use these designations enough and you start getting sloppy in the designations. DB is a double bias fabric that is knitted together so that the layers of fiber lay flat against each other.

    Thanks for the correction.
