Vacuum Bagging: Release Film - Perforated
Release Film
A plastic film may be used in conjunction with the release fabric. This film helps hold the resin in the laminate when high vacuum pressure is used with slow curing resin systems or thin laminates.

Perforated Release Film –
Perforated release film is a thin, non-porous material used in composite vacuum bagging to prevent resin from bonding to the bagging materials.
It is typically placed directly over the composite laminate as the first layer in the vacuum bagging process. The film contains evenly spaced pinholes that allow excess resin to escape in a controlled manner during vacuum application.
This release film is suitable for temperatures up to 285°F (141°C). It is recommended as an alternative to peel ply when a bondable surface is not required.
Unlike peel ply, perforated release film releases more easily from the cured laminate, making removal simpler after the curing process.
Key Features:
-
Prevents bonding between the resin and vacuum bagging materials.
-
Allows controlled removal of excess resin through evenly spaced perforations.
-
Suitable for vacuum bagging temperatures up to 285°F (141°C).
-
Releases easily from cured composite laminates.
-
Ideal when a textured, bondable surface is not required.
