Airtech peel plies are specialised fabrics used in the manufacture of composite materials to create a rough surface ready for subsequent bonding or painting. They are placed directly onto the laminate prior to curing and, once the process is complete, are removed, leaving an ideal texture to ensure better adhesion in subsequent steps. These materials are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of curing without contaminating the surface of the composite, thus ensuring the quality of the final product.
Airtech offers a wide variety of peel plies to suit different processes and requirements. Among its most prominent options are treated peel plies, which prevent the transfer of contaminants to the laminate surface, and untreated peel plies, which are more suitable for applications where no additional preparation is required. Products such as Econostitch® and Econolease® ensure excellent thermal resistance and are easy to remove after curing, facilitating surface cleaning without compromising the integrity of the laminate.
