Description

RF 242 release film is a high temperature and high elongation release film which will conform easily to the most complex curvatures. The film is capable of temperatures up to 220°C. This film will release from most resin systems and will provide a glossy finish when removed from the laminate. All standard perforations are available. Please see our perforation table in this section.

Benefits

• Good elongation and strength reduces tearing and bridging in corners, so less rework on resin rich corners.
• Wider films reduce seams yielding faster bagging and safer cures for large parts.
• High visibility colours reduce risk of leaving film on cured parts or confusion between perforation styles.
