Description

Release ply fabrics are peel plies, used to texture the surface of a composite laminate. The peel ply surface is helpful for secondary bonding or painting of the composite laminate. Release ply fabrics may reduce or eliminate the need for sanding or abrading. These fabrics are scoured, and heat set to remove contaminates and reduce shrinkage.

Release Ply A is a highly drapable nylon peel ply with a more open weave style. Release Ply Super A is a heavy duty, highly drapable nylon peel ply with a more open weave style.

Benefits

• Peel plies strip off of cured laminates leaving a textured surface, reducing time spent hand finishing.

• Less time abrading in preparation for secondary bonding or painting.

• Highly drapable weave style can be applied over shaped parts easily.

• Heavy duty version of Release Ply A is stronger to resist tearing in tougher applications.
