Vacuum Molding Vacuum molding is used to make large composite parts with a one-sided tool and a vacuum bag to form the component. This process is similar to vacuum bagging for thermoset composites. Silicone reusable membranes can be used.
Description of the process: - Position TWINTEX® on an open-faced mold. - Place a vacuum bag over the TWINTEX® and seal the material to the mold. - Remove the air from the bag, sandwiching the TWINTEX® between the bag and the mold. - Heat mold to achieve material temperature of 200°C. - Cool the part to below 100°C.
