Q What materials are required for vacuum infusion?
A A typical vacuum infusion setup may include peel ply, release film, infusion mesh, resin feed tubes, vacuum tubes, sealant tape and vacuum bagging film. The exact combination depends on the laminate structure, resin system and infusion layout.
-
Q How do I select the right vacuum bagging film?
A The main factors include processing temperature, film elongation, thickness, width and compatibility with the resin and curing process. PE film is commonly used for standard-temperature infusion, while nylon film is suitable for higher processing temperatures.
-
Q What is the difference between peel ply and release film?
A Peel ply is placed against the laminate and leaves a textured surface after removal. Release film separates the laminate or peel ply from breather and other consumables and may be perforated to control resin bleed and airflow.
-
Q How do I choose an infusion mesh?
A The selection depends on part size, resin viscosity, laminate permeability and the required infusion speed. A higher-flow mesh can accelerate resin distribution, but the infusion layout must be designed carefully to avoid premature resin arrival or trapped air.
-
Q What is the difference between perforated and non-perforated release film?
A Perforated release film allows controlled airflow or resin bleed through the film. Non-perforated release film creates a stronger separation barrier and prevents resin from passing through. The appropriate option depends on the molding and curing process.
