Reusable Silicone Vacuum Bags for Composite Manufacturing: Sustainable Solutions for RTM and Infusion Processes

For fiberglass composite factories, vacuum casting facilities, and RTM infusion molding plants, our reusable silicone vacuum bags offer a game-changing alternative to single-use plastic solutions. Designed for precision and sustainability, these silicone membranes withstand extreme temperatures, reduce waste, and deliver unmatched durability in vacuum bagging processes. Whether you’re producing aerospace components, automotive parts, or 3D-printed composites, our food-grade silicone rubber ensures airtight seals, minimal leaks, and long-term cost savings.

Why choose us?

• Reusable & Eco-Friendly: Replace hundreds of plastic bags with a single silicone membrane, cutting waste by up to 90%.
• High-Performance: Withstands temperatures from -50°C to 230°C, ideal for resin infusion and prepreg curing.
• Customizable: Tailored sizes and thicknesses for composite parts of any complexity.

Why Choose Reusable Silicone Bags Over Traditional Plastic Bags?

Single-use plastic bags are costly, wasteful, and prone to failure. Our reusable silicone vacuum bags solve these pain points:

Single-use plastic bags are costly, wasteful, and prone to failure. Our reusable silicone vacuum bags solve these pain points:

• Durability: A single silicone membrane lasts for 200+ cycles, compared to 1-2 uses for plastic.
• Cost Savings: Reduce consumable expenses by 70% while eliminating downtime for bag replacement.
• Superior Seal: Low-viscosity silicone rubber conforms perfectly to molds, preventing leaks during vacuum debulking.

How does our customer use silicone for vaumm bag casting?

1.)Flange seal details and moulded flow runners are positioned.
2.)Once the vacuum channel formers have been positioned, a spay machine is used to apply the bluesil silicone product to mold.
3.)The silicone is able to replicate complex details.
4.)Silicone is also used to form the peripheral sealing flange.
5.)Cloth is used to reinforce the bag in strategic areas and to increase durablility
6.)Metal inserts assist in lifting and handing the bag.Curing time in 20 mins
7.)Once the curing stage is over, it’s time to release the vacuum bag.
8.)The silicone bag is self-releasing. It will not adhere to master mold allowing for easy operator removal
9.)Now the’ A’ surface mould is cleaned and treated with release agent.
10. )A gel coat layer is then applied.
11. )The RTM type ‘ combination mat’s glass reinforcement is applied with foam cores used in some area.
12.)A layer of ‘flow-mesh’ can be used to accelerate resin flow.
13.)The silicone bag is positioned over the fibre leaving a cavity for the resion to fill.
14.)Connections are made to vacuum pump and the machine that will mix and inject the resin.
15.)The resin flows into the mould through the fibre
16.)After curing , the vacuum bag relsease from the newly formed boat hull, the bag is reusable , saving time and significantly increasing productivity
17.)If a’peel-ply’ layer has been used, it’s removed at his stage
18.)The moulding can now be released from the mould.
19.)The finished moulding is true to the original in every detail thanks to the state-of-the art silicone vacuum bag technology.

Storage:

Store in a cool and dry place 18 months from the date of production.

Warm Tips:

* It should be stored in a dry place in its original sealed container.

* Read the product safety data sheet(MSDS) carefully before using, which can be got from the supplier.
