Fibre Glast Low Temp Release Film 3 Yard Vacuum Bagging for Composites

Description

Product Overview

The Fibre Glast Low Temp Release Film is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern composite fabrication. Manufactured in the United States, this 3‑yard roll offers a thin, flexible barrier that can be laid directly over laminates, peel ply, or wet lay‑up surfaces. The film’s low‑temperature release properties allow it to be removed cleanly after curing, leaving a smooth, glossy surface on the finished part. Its composition—an advanced polymer blend—provides excellent chemical resistance to epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins, while tolerating the heat generated during vacuum bagging cycles. The film weighs only 5.9 ounces, making it easy to handle and store, and its dimensions (9.75 x 6.5 x 0.5 inches) fit comfortably in most lab environments. Designed for carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, and other high‑performance fabrics, the release film helps eliminate common defects such as resin pooling, air entrapment, and surface blemishes.

Usage

When preparing a composite part, spread the Fibre Glast Low Temp Release Film over the wet lay‑up before placing the vacuum bag. The film acts as a seal, preventing resin from escaping and ensuring uniform pressure distribution across the entire surface. This is especially valuable in aerospace, marine, and automotive applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. The film also works well in research laboratories for small‑scale experiments, allowing technicians to quickly iterate designs without compromising part quality. Because the film releases at relatively low temperatures (typically below 120 °C), it can be used with a wide range of curing cycles, from room‑temperature epoxy cures to elevated‑temperature processes. Its versatility makes it suitable for both prototype development and production‑level manufacturing.

FAQ

What temperature range can the film tolerate?

The film releases cleanly at temperatures up to about 120 °C, making it suitable for most epoxy and polyester cure cycles used in composite manufacturing.

Can the film be reused?

For best results, the film is intended for single‑use applications. Re‑using the film can compromise its release properties and surface finish.

Is the film compatible with vacuum bagging kits?

Yes, the film works seamlessly with standard vacuum bagging kits, including those from Elite Lab, and it integrates well with degassing chambers and vac‑purge systems.

How does the film affect part weight?

The film adds negligible weight (approximately 5.9 oz per roll) and is removed after curing, so it does not contribute to the final part mass.

What sizes are available?

In addition to the 3‑yard roll highlighted here, Fibre Glast offers 1‑yard and 5‑yard options to suit a variety of project scales.

With the Fibre Glast Low Temp Release Film, manufacturers, hobbyists, and researchers alike can achieve cleaner, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing composite parts while simplifying the post‑cure workflow. Whether you are building a high‑performance racing component, a marine hull section, or a laboratory prototype, this release film delivers the reliability and finish quality demanded by today’s advanced composite applications.
