Positioning tapes and sprays for infusion
Positioning tapes and sprays help keep reinforcement fibres and consumables in place while preparing a mould for infusion, RTM or another specified process. They are assembly aids and should not be confused with structural adhesives or bag sealants.
What to consider when choosing
Positioning materials before infusion
Placing fabrics on moulds and vertical walls
Positioning adhesives secure fabrics, cores or consumables, depending on the reference. They are useful where geometry makes it difficult to keep layers in place before closing the bag. Applied quantity and system compatibility must follow product instructions.
Visible-fibre parts
For a finish where fibres remain visible, the fixative's appearance also matters. The selection includes clear and coloured sprays; not all suit a part with clear gelcoat. Choose the reference by its documented application, not just its adhesive strength.
Securing lines and consumables
Double-sided tapes hold assembly elements in place, and specific tapes exist for oven or autoclave curing cycles. Combine them with infusion channels and tubes without replacing vacuum sealant tapes.
