Vacuum Infusion

Extra large extruded advanced copolymer vacuum film.
This film behaves 3 layers: 2 auto-release copolymer layers and one polyamide layer in the middle.

• Can be used for either vacuum moulding or vacuum infusion technologies. PO120 allows the moulding of complex forms.
• Exceptional conformable characteristics.
• Can be used in direct contact to the resin.
• Styrene resistant film.
• Non porous.

Products designed to drain air, solvents and pump excess resin during vacuum molding of composites.
100% non-woven polyester felts.

FR version (Fire Retardant) available for PES 150 and PES 340 to reduce the risk of fire in autoclave.

Suitable for complex shapes.
Good deformability.

DIABREAKER is a vacuum line made of a non-woven polyester filled with thermoplastic microspheres, laminated with a release film, and holding a spiral tube which maintains the vacuum all along the product.

• DIABREAKER avoids over-consumption of resin by slowing down the resin as soon as the flow front gets into contact with it, while keeping the resin moving forward, and maintaining a good vacuum level.
• DIABREAKER allows to drain entrapped air bubbles, to get fully infused fibers,
• Thanks to ELA20 release film, the product is easily peeled off from the part during demolding operation.

DIADRAIN is a flat resin or vacuum channel. It consists of a three-dimensional polyester filament core structure wrapped in a non woven polyester sleeve.

• Works as resin supply channel or vacuum channel in vacuum infusion process.
• Flexible. Easy to cut to size.

DIADRAIN MP is placed around the mold instead of the spiral pipe: when the resin reaches DIADRAIN MP, it is stopped meanwhile the gas is still eliminated from the laminate. DIADRAIN MP can also be set at any place on the laminate.

• Very fast implementation of vacuum channels
• Flexible.
  Easy to cut to size.

Knitted net bleeder with a very high porosity allowing good air and resin flow, is recommended for vacuum infusion technology with polyester, vinylester or epoxy resins.

Can be used in vacuum molding process for debulking of prepregs.

• Recommended for very large part and high speed flow infusion.
• Available in INFUPLEX version for easy implementation.
• Heat-stabilized and de-oiled in order to avoid the rolling up of the flanges and contamination of the resin.

Recommended for the vacuum molding (P3) or infusion
technology (P1) with polyester or epoxy resins.

Easy implementation.

Release film with all resins and elastomers.

Glue for vacuum infusion and RTM 

FOGTAC glue, intended for the vacuum infusion and RTM injection process, ensures perfect adhesion of the various reinforcements during draping.

It has a powerful bonding force which limits consumption.

Color: colorless

With its misting effect, the evaporation of solvents is facilitated and makes it possible to quickly obtain a tack on the surface of the reinforcements, while limiting the quantity deposited between the different layers.

FOGTAC glue does not interfere with resin flow and does not cause marking problems.

DIATEX offers a range of fittings, valves, adapters and consumable hoses for vacuum infusion.
This range of fittings and valves is available in several diameters to cover all needs.

The systems combine three vacuum consumables into a three-layer unit: a peel ply, a perforated film ELA20P0 permeable to resin and gases, a net bleeder on top.

There are 2 INFUPEEL versions, with 2 different peel ply :

• INFUPEEL® DIANET PES90
• INFUPEEL ®DIANET PA80

Used in manufacturing processes for vacuum infusion of composite materials.

De-oiled. Heat set. This easy-to-use solution eliminates the technical risk of overlap or of the omitted layer. Save time and optimise the production with INFUPEEL.

The systems combine two vacuum consumables into a two-layer unit (a perforated film and a net bleeder on top).

There are 7 INFUPLEX® versions with 5 different net bleeders.

INFUPLEX is also a very simple solution to lay up the bagging materials.

• Used in manufacturing processes for vacuum infusion of composite materials.
• De-oiled. Heat set.
