Release Fabric
Nylon, glass and polyester woven fabrics with silicone, fluorocarbon, and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coatings
Resin and cure temperature requirements vary. To satisfy specific application requirements, Aerovac makes light to heavyweight woven fabrics in nylon, glass and polyester, with silicone and fluoropolymer coatings. Release fabric is available in standard formats, slit widths and cut to shape.
Aerovac Release Fabrics are available through Composites One in North America or through Aerovac’s Distribution Network globally.

200TFNP
3.2oz/yd (108g/m)
Non-porous, PTFE-coated, plain weave fiberglass cloth which is designed as a release fabric which will prevent resin from bleeding through the release fabric and into the breather fabric. Imparts a gloss finish to laminate surface and works up to 550°F (288 °C).
FF03A
4.3oz/yd (145g/m)
Non-porous, PTFE-coated, plain weave fiberglass cloth which is designed as a release fabric which will prevent resin from bleeding through the release fabric and into the breather fabric. Imparts a gloss finish to laminate surface and works up to 550°F (288°C).
FF05A
8oz/yd (270g/m)
Non-porous, PTFE-coated, plain weave fiberglass cloth which is designed as a release fabric which will prevent resin from bleeding through the release fabric and into the breather fabric. Imparts a gloss finish to laminate surface and works up to 550°F (288°C).
FF10A
14.7oz/yd (500g/m)
Non-porous, PTFE-coated, plain weave fiberglass cloth which is designed as a release fabric which will prevent resin from bleeding through the release fabric and into the breather fabric. Imparts a gloss finish to laminate surface and works up to 550°F (288°C).
200TFP-1
1.4oz/yd (46g/m)
Tan colored, lightweight, PTFE coated glass fabric which allows excess resin, volatiles and trapped air to bleed through and be absorbed into the breather, or vented away from the assembly, operating in temperatures up to 608°F (320°C).
FF03PM
1.8oz/yd (63g/m)
Brown, lightweight, porous, PTFE coated glass fabric, which is ideal for use on flat or single curvature moldings in extreme temperature and pressure conditions, up to 608°F (320°C).
FF05PM
3.8oz/yd (130g/m)
Brown, medium weight, porous, PTFE coated glass fabric, which is ideal for use on flat or single curvature moldings in extreme temperature and pressure conditions, up to 608°F (320°C).
