Omega Profile is a specially-shaped extruded profile that is used to create a rigid and durable edge or to maintain separation between the vacuum bag and the breather layer, ensuring consistent vacuum pressure and facilitating resin flow during the composite fabrication process.
Feature:
Optimized Geometric Design:
Proprietary omega-shaped cross-section engineered for structural rigidity and consistent performance under vacuum pressure.
High Durability:
Manufactured from temperature-resistant polymers or composites to withstand autoclave cycles and harsh processing conditions.
Vacuum Integrity:
Maintains precise separation between breather materials and vacuum bagging films, ensuring uniform resin distribution and eliminating bridging.
Enhanced Resin Flow Channels:
Facilitates controlled resin infusion by creating unobstructed pathways during processes like VARTM or prepreg layup.
Reusable & Customizable:
Available in multiple lengths, thicknesses, and material grades to suit specific mold geometries or process requirements.
Application:
Aerospace & Automotive Composites:
Critical for creating sealed edges in wing skins, fuselage panels, or automotive body parts using prepreg/autoclave methods.
Wind Energy:
Ensures uniform vacuum pressure during resin infusion of large turbine blades or structural components.
Marine Industry:
Used in boat hull/deck lamination to prevent breather bag adhesion and optimize epoxy flow.
Repair & Maintenance:
Ideal for localized composite repairs, providing edge support and vacuum consistency in patch-bonding operations.
Complex Mold Tooling:
Enables precise bagging around intricate contours or deep draws in molds for RTM (Resin Transfer Molding).
