Vacuum Bagging with Smooth-On Materials

Vacuum Bagging

Vacuum Bagging

Silicone Vacuum Bags are durable & can be re-used time and again resulting in Reduced Labor Costs. Other advantages vs traditional vacuum bagging materials and techniques include:

  • Fast fabrication time – Silicone vacuum bags are ready for service immediately after full cure.
  • Reusablility – Reduce or eliminate traditional consumables such as peel-ply and separating film.
  • Self-Sealing – Eliminates Tacky tape for fast installation onto tool assembly.
  • Chemical Resistance – Better performance against chemically harsh resins.
  • Heat Resistance – up to 500°F / 260°C.

Silicone vacuum bags can also be used for de-bulking layers of reinforcement prior to resin infusion or cure cycle. They are also Eco-Friendly because they reduce consumption of traditional vacuum bagging consumables resulting in reduced environmental impact.
