Both VABATop surface veils (PAN, PET) are designed to simply render the best surface effect. Already launched in 2023, VABATop PAN is a needle punched nonwoven PAN surface veil with high elongation properties and a specific weight between 35gr. and 80gr. It allows a defect free surface and simplified the finishing, offers osmosis protection of thermoset laminates, improves the chemical resistance and avoids galvanic corrosion by carbon composites. Provided with the same excellent properties, the new developed VABATop PET surface veil is tailored to the needs of the composite production and fulfil all the industry’s requirements

Vabatec‘s next gen composite spray adhesive VABATac 2 can also be regarded as a very successful enhancement of a Vabatec product launch. Designed for temporary fixation, VABATac 2 enables the partly repositioning of materials in the RTM and infusion process. The extreme fine mist of the VABATac 2 paired with the very high tack leads to a lower consumption and an excellent part finishing. The spray is compatible with all common resins (polyester, epoxy, etc.), it is polychloroprene free and does not interfere with resins’ curing. Correspondingly, the cured products have excellent mechanical properties. The spray adhesive is available in 500ml cans as standard. Other sizes on request.

Since all good things come in threes, they also present VABALON 150 50μm, a new multiple process film designed for vacuum bagging and debunking applications (incl. the use in autoclaves) especially in the automotive industry. The film has elongation properties higher than polyamide films. Due to the specific urface properties of the VABALON 150 films, this version can be also used as a release film with all common resins (incl. phenolic systems) up to 150°C.
