Stretchlon® 200 vacuum bag film is a high elongation elastomeric film which can be used for cures up to 121°C and debulking operations. When parts with multiple contours are vacuum bagged, Stretchlon® 200 is an excellent choice as the high elongation will stretch into complex features. This film is not affected by low humidity environment. It is recommended for cures with epoxy and phenolic resins.

Econolon® is an inexpensive nylon bagging film for low temperature cures, compaction or debulking.

Stretchlon® 700 vacuum bag film is a high elongation elastomeric film which is designed for cures up to 195°C. It is particularly suitable for applications where softness and elongation are required. The risk of bridging in the corners is highly reduced due to the elasticity of the film. This film stays soft even in a very low humidity environment. Stretchlon® 700 is recommended for cures with phenolic and epoxy resins.

Wrightlon® 5400 is a nylon bagging film with good elongation for cure temperatures up to 180°C

Wrightlon® 8400 is a high temperature nylon vacuum bagging film with more than 30 years worldwide proven performance. It is called out on many aerospace specifications for use temperatures up to 232°C. It is recommended for cures with phenolic resins.

Stretchlon® 850 is a high elongation film in tube form with a good softness which will conform to complex contours. This film is designed to remain more flexible than standard nylon films in low humidity conditions. Stretchlon® 850 is recommended for epoxy and BMI resins.

Ipplon® KM1300 is a vacuum bagging film with a good elongation and is suitable for cure temperatures up to 212°C. It is recommended for bagging applications where a higher softness is required. An excellent film for autoclave use or resin infusion.

Stretchlon® HT-350 is a higher temperature version of Stretchlon® 200. It can be used with all standard epoxy resin systems. The very high elongation makes this film easy to use on contour lay-ups and is an excellent choice for ply compaction. It is not recommended for autoclave processing. This film is not affected by low humidity conditions.

Wrightlon® 600V vacuum bagging film is designed for low cost, commercial applications yet still performs with high pressure autoclave cure cycles. It has good elongation and stays soft in low humidity conditions.

Airdraw® Airdraw 2-DC is embossed with a diamond channel pattern which has been engineered specifically to provide rapid air removal from under the bag when vacuum is drawn. Airdraw 2-DC uses the original Airdraw 2 film which has been formulated to provide increased stiffness to assist in maintaining a breathable pattern, and is a contact material on some specifications. Airdraw 2-DC is not affected by environmental conditions and will not soften in high humidity and maintains the structure of the breathing channels for superior performance. It is designed primarily for ply compaction, with the benefit of not requiring a breather. It is embossed from one side of the film and under close examination the film has a flat side and a side with diamond shaped blisters. The blisters go against the part surface on top of a perforated release film.

Ipplon® DPT1000 is a high temperature nylon film for cure temperatures up to 246°C. It can be used when high temperature and high pressure are required. It is the recommended material for cures with phenolic resins.

Wrightlon® 6400 is a nylon bagging film with a good elongation for cure temperatures up to 204°C.

Ipplon® DP1000 is a vacuum bagging film with a high elongation and is suitable for cure temperatures up to 212°C. It is recommended for bagging applications where a higher softness is required.

Airdraw Airdraw 2 is embossed with a ''cracked ice'' pattern which allows for rapid air removal when placed under vacuum. The film has been formulated to provide increased stiffness to assist in maintaining a breathable pattern. Airdraw 2 is not affected by environmental conditions and will not soften in high humidity, allowing superior breathability. It is designed primarily for ply compaction with the added benefits of not requiring a breather. It is embossed from one side of the film, under close examination; the film has a flat side and a raised side. The outer surface of the roll is the raised side. For best results, place the raised side against the part surface on top of a perforated release film.

Stretchlon® 800 vacuum bag film has the highest elongation from all nylon films and is suitable for cure temperatures up to 204°C. When parts with multiple contours are vacuum bagged, Stretchlon® 800 is a good choice offering to stretch into most areas. This film is designed to remain more flexible than standard nylon films in low humidity conditions. Stretchlon® 800 is recommended for epoxy and BMI resins.

Wrightlon® 7400 is a high temperature nylon film with high elongation which is suitable for cure temperatures up to 204°C. It is also offered with our embossed, cracked ice pattern making it a breather, release film and vacuum bag all-in-one.

Ipplon® WN1500 is a heat-stabilized nylon film for cure temperatures up to 246°C. It can be used when high temperature and high pressure are required. Ipplon® WN1500 is the recommended material for cures with phenolic resins.
