Fiberglass Peel Ply & Release Fabrics
Bleeder Lease® peel ply are high temperature fabric coated with a silicone release agent. It provides superior release to plain peel plies because the coating prevents the fabric from bonding to the laminate while producing a textured surface. It will provide easy release from most prepregs and resin systems. All coated peel plies have the potential to transfer.
Release Ease® PTFE coated fiberglass fabrics will provide release from all conventional resin systems. Porous products will allow excess resin, volatiles and trapped air to escape into the breather during cure while non-porous products will retain resin. Release Ease® products have a continuous service temperature to 288°C (550°F).
- Release coating reduces the effort required to remove peel ply from laminate.
- Peel plies strip off of cures laminates leaving a textured surface, reducing time spent hand finishing.
- Fiberglass retains its strength through high temperature cures and post cures for easier removal after cure.
