Product Introduction
Breather Fabrics, marketed under the trade name Breather Fabrics by Raetin, are specialized polyester non-woven materials designed to excel in various applications, particularly in processes such as vacuum infusion. These fabrics boast exceptional water absorption properties, making them highly effective in managing excess resin and facilitating optimal conditions during the vacuum infusion process.
Crafted from high-quality polyester, Breather Fabrics serve a crucial role in composite manufacturing. The material’s unique non-woven structure enables it to absorb water efficiently, making it an ideal choice for applications where the removal of excess resin is essential. This feature not only enhances the overall quality of the final composite product but also contributes to a more controlled and efficient manufacturing process.
One of the key advantages of Breather Fabrics lies in its versatility as a media in vacuum infusion processes. By effectively absorbing excess resin, the fabric helps prevent issues such as resin pooling and ensures a uniform distribution of resin throughout the composite material. This contributes to the production of composite parts with consistent quality, improved strength-to-weight ratios, and reduced waste.
Additionally, the breathable nature of these fabrics promotes optimal air and resin flow during the infusion process. This ensures that the resin saturates the reinforcement materials thoroughly, resulting in a composite with enhanced structural integrity. The breathability also aids in the removal of air bubbles, further contributing to the overall quality of the finished product.
