Description

Airdam 1 is designed to dam resins in all types of layups. It is a high temperature rubber extrusion that remains firm up to 500°F (260°C). Airdam 1 is tacky but will release from metal or non-metal tools, hot or cold. Airdam 1 replaces expensive materials like silicone rubber, cork and the double backed tape required to hold them down. Release films will also seal to Airdam 1.

Benefits

• Maintains edge of laminate thickness, avoiding thinning.
• Control resin bleed out from laminate edge.
• Seal release film around edge of part for zero or minimal resin bleed.

Notes

• If release is a problem, simply cover the inside of the dam with our PS tape Teflease MG2. The Teflease
MG2 will form to the Airdam 1.
• Teflease MG2 can be used if a non-silicone adhesive is needed.
• The maximum use temperature is dependent upon the duration at maximum temperature and is process
specific, Airtech recommends testing prior to use.
