Data Sheet A4000
High performance fluoropolymer release film
DESCRIPTION
A4000 release film is a high temperature and high elongation release film which will conform easily to the most
complex curvatures. The film is capable of temperatures up to 500 F (260 C). This film will release from most
resin systems and will provide a glossy finish when removed from the laminate. All standard perforations are
available. Please see our perforation table in this section.
@ BENEFITS
+ Good elongation and softness reduces bridging in corners resulting in less rework on resin rich corners.
+ High visibility colors reduces risk of leaving film on cured parts or confusion between perforation styles.
– Excellent release from cured parts, film comes off easily and leaves a glossy finish.
