Polyester Peel Ply – Natural – 2.5 oz (Porous)
This natural-white polyester peel ply is a scoured and heat-set fabric designed for use directly against laminates or bond lines. After cure, it peels away to leave a clean, bondable, textured surface—ideal for secondary bonding, adhesives, fairing, or paint—while reducing post-cure sanding and contamination risk. Approved to a range of OEM specifications for composite manufacturing and metal bonding.
Key Features
- Fabric weight: 2.5 oz/yd² (lightweight, drapable, easy to handle).
- Finish: Scoured & heat-set for consistent release and a reliable bonding profile.
- Temperature rating: Up to 400°F (204°C); suitable for common composite cure schedules.
- Function: Porous peel ply allows air/volatiles to escape and helps control resin at the surface.
- Surface quality: Leaves a clean, uniform tooth—no release agent residue.
Typical Applications
- Prepreg, wet-layup, and infusion edge/bond-line masking.
- Creating a secondary-bond surface without grinding or heavy abrasion.
- Metal bonding prep where consistent, contamination-free texture is required.
Use & Placement
- Apply peel ply on top of the laminate (over the final reinforcement or over perforated release where specified).
- After cure, peel off at a low angle to reveal a fresh, bond-ready surface.
- For cosmetic gloss finishes, remove before any cosmetic surface ply, as peel ply leaves a textured imprint.
