Breatex™ Non-woven absorber 150 g/m²

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.

Use as mould non-woven
This stretchable non-woven is ideal for creating freehand moulds. In-car manufacture it is used for making door panels for built-in loudspeakers, etc.
It can be easily impregnated with epoxy and polyester resins and yields coat thicknesses of about three millimetres. These wall thicknesses often render further reinforcement with glass fibre plies unnecessary and help to save a great deal of grinding work. Resin uptake per layer approx. 1.75 kg/m².
