Bonding and Moulding Shop Consumables

 

JRTL provide a range of bonding and moulding shop consumables used during manufacture and repair of structural composite / reinforced plastic components.

The following is a guide of these materials.  Properties and samples are shown on additional data sheets available to download or on request:-

A wide range of films are available for both low and high temperature vacuum bagging.  The 2 standard grades are:-

  • Vac Film 6/50 - Polyamide 6, 50 µ thick, to 190°C (cast and blown/lay-flat tube)
  • Vac Film (Heat Stabilised ) 66/50 - Polyamide 6:6, 50 µ thick, to 200°C+ (cast and blown/lay-flat tube)

These are for autoclave or general vacuum applications where a contoured vacuum bag or re-usable system is required. Manufactured from reinforced or un-reinforced electrometric sheet material, incorporating silicone or non-silicone formulations. Elongation of up to 800% and temperature resistance to 220°C+; eg. our E6112S (in a variety of weights).
Self Contouring Bolster Bag

These tend to be non-woven products of polyester or glass fibre base (depending on temperature required) available in 1.5 metre widths, 50 or 100 metres long. Density range 130-300 gsm, identified with an LP or LG prefix followed by density code.

Glass, aramid or quartz woven fabrics for this application are also available with different finishes.  Grades available for all types of: contour, air passage and fire retardant applications available on request.

These are generally a woven polyamide 6 or polyester fabric with a satin or plain weave.  They can be used either on their own to give a non-contaminant release/bleed barrier or they may be treated with our Dry Film Release Agent 450 (PTFE based) to lower release forces required. These fabrics are available in 2 oz (55 gsm) & 4 oz (110 gsm) weights.

Films available from 10-800 micron thick, up to 1.85 metres wide and in a variety of roll lengths, generally used for reinforced plastics tooling release applications.  These are low cost and in some instances capable of operating in excess of 230°C.  We endeavour to offer the most suitable film for your application and can supply perforating wheels or perforated film should these need venting.

Papers of 1 and 2 side release, non-migrating parchment type; generally 40-60 gsm.

Polyester / Polyimide Films have operating temperatures in excess of 300°C and are available in 36-50 micron thickness, to 1.85 metres wide.  Specify maximum operating temperature and type of film preferred.

  • Vacuum Resin Transfer Coil Channel

Offered in 3 metre lengths this channel is designed to facilitate the flow of resin introduced to a part being infused. Standard coil is available in 12 mm ID wire galvanised. Other sizes and material types are available to order.

 
Stainless Steel Vacuum Bag Connector & Quick Disconnect
  • Hose Fittings (metal and plastic)
  • Vacuum Bag Connectors (metal and plastic)
  • Reusable VRT Connector Cups

These are a simple way of connecting Header and Feeder pipes onto a part for infusion. It is not necessary to add these until after the component has been laid up, the release and breather stack added and the vacuum membrane put in place. They are used in conjunction with sealant tape to adhere them into place with a vacuum tight seal.
