Perforated film for resin infusion
At a glance
- Specifically for resin infusion
- Self-releasing
- Special PK perforation
Perforated film for vacuum infusion of laminates with epoxy, polyester and vinylester (resin infusion). This perforated film is very strong, flexible and features PK perforation, making it highly suitable for vacuum infusion. The perforated film for resin infusion is self-releasing and can therefore be applied directly to the laminate. The film can also be used in combination with peel ply.
The recommended vacuum level is 0.95–0.995 bar vacuum (5–50 mbar abs.).
Features
- Suitable for epoxy, polyester and vinylester.
- Release medium with special PK perforation for vacuum infusion.
- Very high elongation and flexibility.
- Can also be used as a thin vacuum bagging film.

The recommended application temperature range indicates the conditions under which the product can generally be applied and cured properly. Three temperatures matter:
- Air: the temperature in the workshop or outdoors.
- Substrate: the temperature of the surface being treated.
- Product: the temperature of the resin, adhesive or coating itself.
A cold substrate can cause condensation and affect adhesion. At higher temperatures, two-component products may react faster, reducing their working time. Check the dew point and follow the product instructions.

The product's dimensions, usually shown as length × width × height or another product-specific order. Check whether the measurements describe the outside, inside or usable space, especially for containers and moulds.

The physical thickness of the supplied material, such as a panel, pad, film or foam sheet. This differs from the thickness of a liquid coating applied to a surface.

The base material a product or part is made from, such as HDPE, aluminium, glass fibre or foam. Material choice affects weight, stiffness, chemical resistance and how the part can be worked or processed.
- Polypropylene (PP)

Elongation at break indicates how much a material can stretch during a tensile test before it breaks. It is expressed as a percentage (%) of the original length. At 100% elongation, the material has doubled in length just before breaking. A high value indicates a high ability to deform, but not how much force is needed.
- 500%
-
Tensile strength is the maximum tensile stress a material can withstand during a tensile test before failure. It is usually expressed in MPa (megapascals) or N/mm² (newtons per square millimetre); 1 MPa = 1 N/mm². Under comparable test conditions, a higher value means greater resistance to tension. In composites, fibre orientation also affects the result.
