Non-Coated Peel Ply
Non-coated peel plies, used to texture the surface of a composite laminate are helpful for secondary bonding or painting of the composite laminate. Release ply fabrics may reduce or eliminate the need for sanding or abrading. The fabric is scoured and heat set to remove contaminates and reduce shrinkage.
- Peel plies strip off of cured laminates leaving a textured surface, reducing time spent hand finishing.
- Less time abrading in preparation for secondary bonding or painting.
- Highly drapable weave style can be applied over shaped parts easily.
- Good temperature resistance, wide choice of styles to match process requirements.
- Economy versions available for low temperature applications.
