EZ-Brush® Vac Bag is a brushable, Platinum-Cure Silicone Rubber developed especially for fabricating reusable vacuum bags by hand. No spray equipment is required. EZ-Brush® Vac Bag Silicone has a 1A:1B by volume mix ratio and is easy to mix and apply. Mixed rubber is thixotropic and can be applied with a brush or spatula to vertical surfaces without sagging.

Production-ready vacuum bags can be fabricated fast using EZ-Brush® Vac Bag Silicone resulting in tremendous time and labor savings. Since bags are reusable, long term material costs are greatly reduced.

Advantages of Silicone Vacuum Bags:

  • Fast – as low as 4 hours from bag fabrication to part production.
  • Cost Effective Production after 8 cycles vs. consumable bags.
  • Reusable for hundreds of parts with polyester-based resins; upto 50 times with epoxy and 100 times when using pre-preg thermoplastic. Also suitable for de-bulk.
  • Reduce Labor – silicone bag is reset in minutes; no taping or pleating.
  • Self-Releasing – no release agents required.
  • Perfect Fit even for complex shapes and undercuts.
  • Odorless – No solvents or VOC's.
  • High Service Temperature – up to 464°F / 240°C.
  • Built-in Vacuum Seal.
  • Ideal for Wet Lay-Up, Infusion, Pre-Preg (in or out of autoclave), and De-Bulk.
