20% Shrink Tape chopper-gun-roving The physical properties of composites

The physical properties of composites are fiber dominant

Common applications include:

Maximum roll diameter is 24"

Dimensional Stability: Chopped glass fibers can help improve the dimensional stability of composites by minimizing shrinkage and expansion

20% Shrink Tape chopper-gun-roving The physical properties of compositesShrink Tape is a polyester compaction film used to wrap laminates and create mechanical pressure during cure. Unlike vacuum bagging, this tape creates pressure by way of heat, rather than vacuum. When heated, it shrinks up to 20%, compacting (or squeezing) the composite within, eliminating excess resin and air. As a result, parts feature a better fiber to resin ratio and improved physical properties. Shrink Tape is often used instead of vacuum bagging
