Vacuum Infusion

Vacuum Infusion

• Material is loaded dry into a prepared mold and covered with peel ply and flow medium.
• Resin channels or feed tubes are laid out on the part accordingly. Vacuum lines are put in place around the perimeter.
• Entire part is covered with vacuum-bag film and sealed at edges. Vacuum is applied.
• Catalyzed resin is pulled into part through feed tubes and flows throw flow medium and into the spaces between the reinforcement fibers.
• Once fully wet out, feed tubes are shut off and vacuum is left on until cure takes place.

Benefits:

• Provides a high quality laminate at a relatively low cost.
• Reduces fumes from entering environment.
• High reinforcement to resin ratio: approximately 70/30.
