AIRTECH STITCH PLY A

Airtech STITCH PLY A fabric is a similar version of RELEASE PLY A, with red tracers (pinstripes) for easier identification on the laminate.

Pulley fabrics are peelable fabrics used to texture the surface of a composite laminate. Their textured surface is useful for secondary bonding or painting of the composite laminate. Pulley fabrics can reduce or even eliminate the need for sanding or abrasion. The various weave styles should be suitable for your specific application. The fabrics are stripped and heat-set (unless otherwise specified) to remove most contaminants and reduce shrinkage.

STITCH PLY A tear-off fabrics remove cured resin, leaving a textured surface, reducing manual finishing time.

The thin red stripe makes the fabric more visible and reduces the risk of leaving residue after curing.

STITCH PLY A weave is easily applied to shaped parts.
