Alpharetta, GA, March 12th 2018 -- Solvay announces the launch of VAC-PERF A2400, its next-generation high performance release film for wind energy applications.
VAC-PERF A2400’s compatibility with a wide range of resin systems from polyesters to next-gen epoxies, combined with high release properties makes it a true alternative to legacy release films which have now reached their performance limits.
VAC-PERF A2400 offers clear benefits to users including:
-
Maximized release properties - reduces tool cleaning operations.
-
Simplified peeling off process - saves time and cost.
-
Clean laminate - good surface finish without costly rework.
-
Usage flexibility - can be used for resin infusion and prepreg cures.
-
Simplified inventory - one peel ply for a range of resins and applications.
-
Available in width of up to 2 meters - lowers kitting costs with a 20% reduced assembly time capability.
-
Available with various perforation types incl. P3, P16, P31.
VAC-PERF A2400 will now be used as part of Solvay’s VAC-PLY INFUPLY (combination product with infusion mesh/breather and release film), improving efficiencies further by enabling part manufacturers to focus on value added operations and industrialize their production.
Solvay will be introducing VAC-PERF A2400 at JEC World 2019. Come by Stand L42 in Hall 5 to find out more.
