SOLUBLE RELEASE AND CARRIER FILMS

MonoSol M-1000 & M-2000 are non-plastic versions of polyvinyl alcohol film designed specifically for continuous molding and compounding operations. The high strength of this film prevents web breaks during processing solid surface processing. With excellent styrene barrier characteristics, these films are an ideal choice as a carrier film for the production of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and artificial marble.
RECYCLABLE VACUUM BAGGING & PRESSURE TAPE
Recyclable Vacuum Bagging Films
MonoSol M-1030 is now engineered to be flexible and formable in vacuum-bagging applications. Unlike stiff films such as nylon, MonoSol film stretches and conforms to the mold without pleats. Making pleats requires extra labor and can lead to film bridging, which creates voids in the laminate structure. With fewer pleats, MonoSol films will improve the quality of your composite parts at a lower cost. Our films also have excellent release characteristics and help the environment by being resistant to styrene permeability.

Recyclable Pressure Tape
MonoSol M-1030 pressure tape will produce quality composites with a controlled gloss finish and excellent laminate consolidation during mandrel curing operations. With both high strength and the ability to stretch around complex shapes and curves, this film is ideal for applications such as silicone flexible hoses and golf shafts. M-1030 is resistant to most thermo set-polymer systems and exhibits excellent release after curing.
SOLUBLE PROSTHETIC FABRICATION
The combination of Strength and Flexibility of
M1030 makes is well suited for manufacture of composite prosthetic limbs. After being converted into conical shaped bags in several sizes and shapes to fit different mold, M1030 is moistened to enhance the elongation properties of the film. The bag is stretched over the composite prosthetic part to produce a form-fitting barrier around the surrounding the limb formation. The part is placed in an oven to cure the composite materials. When the composite materials are cured, the M1030 is removed, revealing a smooth surface on the finished prosthetic.
