Airtech Stretchlon® 700 Vacuum Bagging Film
Description
Airtech Stretchlon® 700 – High-Elongation Vacuum Bagging Film, 60" Width
Stretchlon® 700 is a high-elongation elastomeric bagging film engineered for cures up to 385°F (195°C). Its soft hand and exceptional stretch dramatically reduce bridging in corners and over tight radii, making it an excellent choice wherever softness and conformability are critical. The film remains supple in low-humidity environments and is recommended for use with phenolic and epoxy resin systems.
Key Features
- High elongation: up to 500% for superior drape over complex geometries.
- Temperature capability: use in processes up to 385°F (195°C).
- Chemical/Environmental: not affected by phenolics; stays soft and will not become brittle in low humidity.
- Seaming: can be heat-seamed to custom shapes, reducing labor and leak paths.
- Width: 60" (152.4 cm) for efficient coverage of panels and molds.
Typical Applications
- Vacuum bagging of parts with tight radii, complex contours, or deep draws.
- Phenolic and epoxy laminate processing in aerospace, marine, automotive, and industrial composites.
- OOA/prepreg and wet-layup workflows where maximum drape is beneficial.
Processing Notes
- Use with compatible sealant tape, release media, and breather/bleeder as required.
- Protect from sharp edges; tape or radius tight corners to avoid pinholes and tearing.
- For infusion, plan flow media/porting accordingly—high stretch can slightly slow in-plane flow.
