Breatex™ Non-woven absorber 150 g/m², width 152 cm
Medium-heavy, highly drape-able, and soft-needled non-woven.
Use as absorbent non-woven
Absorber for taking up excess resin forced through the perforated film when the laminate is evacuated. This non-woven absorber is used in one or more layers.
The absorbent fleece is mainly used for vacuum pressing and is not suitable for vacuum infusion as it soaks up resin and slows down the flow front. Flow aids for infusion have a lower flow resistance, which accelerates the flow front as they create a gap between the vacuum film and the textile. However, in some cases, such as the coating of rigid PVC foam sheets for spar push bars in wing construction, it is important that not too much resin is absorbed during vacuum pressing, as this could impair the bonding.
