Breather Fabric Breather fabrics provide a pathway for gases, connecting the curing laminate to the vacuum manifold. They help maintain even pressure distribution during vacuum bagging, ensuring optimal laminate quality and uniformity. Additionally, they support consistent airflow, even under elevated temperatures and pressures, throughout the curing process.

Ancillaries This category includes connectors, small equipment, and other accessories that support composite processing, enhancing the efficiency and functionality of the entire operation. role in creating airtight seals during vacuum bagging, offering easy application and reliable performance in high- pressure environments. Tape Sealant tapes play a critical varying temperatures and pressures, depending on the curing requirements. Vacuum Bagging Film Vacuum bags are used to create an air barrier and maintain consistent vacuum pressure during the manufacturing process. They ensure uniform pressure distribution and help achieve high- quality results. Different films are available, designed to withstand
Release Film The primary function of the release film in composite manufacturing is to ensure the cured part is easily released from the process materials pack. In some processes, perforated release films are used, which help control resin flow during infusion and allow gases to escape through the perforations, ensuring optimal curing and surface quality. Flow Media/ Combined Products Flow media enhance resin distribution during infusion, while combined products integrate multiple functions, simplifying the overall process and improving efficiency.
