VACFILM 400Y
Vacuum bagging film
Ideally suited to marine and wind energy applications
Features and Benefits
Tough, high elongation elastomeric film, suitable for
de-bulking applications and oven curing of
composites up to temperatures of 150 C (302 F).
Due to the film s high elasticity, the necessity for
pleats is reduced in debulk operations.
Premium film for marine and wind energy applications.
Good release from sealant tape.

STORAGE
Vacfilm 400Y is a hydrophilic material. Moisture and water act as plasticizers. The level of moisture content at time of use is
therefore an important factor for successful performance. The higher the moisture content the more flexible they become.
Conversely at lower moisture levels flexibility is limited.
Do not store rolls vertically on their ends.
