Hi!

Anyone got experience of Infiana FlexPLAS? 

This text is from infiana groups website:
FlexPlas® can be used for a range of procedures (such as pre-preg technology in autoclaving, (vacuum) infusion, hand lay-up process or Resin Transfer Molding/RTM). The release film, which is extensible up to 300 percent, highly elastic and thermally stable, is applied to the mold like a second skin. After the fibrous material has been placed in the mold, the cured component can be easily removed thanks to FlexPlas®. The release film can either remain on the component as transport protection, or it can be safely and easily removed. Without any residue: each component can be further processed, for example coated.

Another advantage: applying a gel coat to the FlexPlas® release film prior to covering it with fibrous material saves additional time and energy. In addition to omitting the cleaning and grinding steps from the process, the component now no longer needs to be coated and additionally cured. The coating is cured together with the component in one production stage.

I got a test roll of this material but haven't got much time to play with it yet. My parts are mostly complicated once, so i am interested to see does this work for them. For bonnets and easy flat type of parts, this could be really good time saver. Basically the film is vacuumed to the part, and works as a barrier between mold and fibers. If I remember correctly the film is 0.1mm thick.
