Vacuum Infusion and Bagging


What do you mean by bagging process?

Vacuum bagging is considered an important technique, which can be useful for any type of boat builder. It is a widely accepted tool when related with resin or fiberglass. The process follows a basic principle of atmospheric pressure. It is noticed that atmospheric pressure is exerted equally on all the sides, when vacuum is absent. The pressure gradually increases when vacuum is also increased.  Vacuum can be created with the help of three methods, that is, via generators, pumps or vacuum cleaners. Using vacuum has its own benefits as it provides better finishing, uniformity and strength to the product.

What are the materials required to perform the process?

•    Perforated VB films
Used as a medium between resin and other stack, this helps to consolidate vacuum. It also improves the quality of stack.
•    Breather cloth
With the help of bleeder or breather cloth, once can absorb excess resin and vacuum pressure, which is not required.
•    Peel ply
Peel fly is important red striped fabric, which is used after the laminate curing step. It helps to eliminate the need of resurfacing, and thus, saves time and cost.
•    Flow mesh
A flow mesh is equipment used to control the flow of resin in the process of vacuum bagging.
•    VB sealant tape
Used to seal the plastic bags, it helps to compose the vacuum inside and is considered as an important tool. It is available in different versions as well.

Other than the above-mentioned items, vacuum plastic bag and piping is also an important part of the manufacturing.  Do not forget to check the thickness, resin and air quality of every material before using.
