 | AIRVIK-5 is a temporary adhesive for positioning fiberglass and carbon fabrics in the manufacture of compound materials (polyester resin, vinyl-ester and epoxy) using the vacuum infusion method. AIRVIK-5 is formulated with raw materials that are perfectly compatible with infusion process resins, and it quickly dissolves in them without affecting the polymerization kinetics, or altering the final mechanical properties of the product. Even an excessive amount of adhesive does not interfere with the interlaminar adhesion of the fabrics.
The amount of AIRVIK-5 to apply depends surface type and fabric weight. Non- absorbent surfaces, like Gel Coat or glass resin moulds, only require a small amount of AIRVIK-5. Porous and very absorbent surfaces, like fiberglass fabrics (biaxial, coupled) require around 1 kg for 60-100m2. In this type of use, a spray can cover a surface of 15-25 m2. AIRVIK-5 includes a blue colorant for easy application quantity control; it disappears during polymerization.
