Vacuum bagging materials for composites
Vacuum materials for composites support infusion, laminate consolidation and prepreg manufacture. This selection brings together bagging consumables, resin distribution media, connections and reusable equipment to organise the complete process.
What to consider when choosing
Preparing vacuum-process materials
Materials for resin infusion
Infusion involves preparing the resin path through the dry fibres. Flow meshes and channels and tubes perform different roles along that path. Connections and ports link the feed and air evacuation to the assembly.
Consolidation and prepregs
Vacuum bags and sealant tapes enclose the material stack on the mould. Within the stack, peel ply fabrics, bleeder or release films and breather and bleeder fabrics are selected according to the resin and manufacturing cycle. Not every combination is used in the same way.
Positioning materials on the mould
Positioning sprays and tapes help place fibres and consumables, especially on difficult shapes or walls. If fibres remain visible, the fixative's appearance and specified use for that finish also matter.
Pumps, vacuum control and degassing
Vacuum pumps and accessories include resin traps, vacuum gauges and leak-detection equipment. Chambers for degassing resins or silicones perform a different operation from consolidating a part under a bag. Select equipment for the intended assembly and procedure.
