At H.B. Fuller, we provide specialised butyl tapes and spray adhesives designed specifically for vacuum infusion applications. Our solutions help manufacturers reduce risk, improve process reliability and achieve consistent production results.
Vacuum infusion is a composite manufacturing process that uses vacuum pressure to draw resin through dry reinforcement materials, producing lightweight, high-strength parts with exceptional consistency. The success of the process depends on two critical factors: maintaining an airtight vacuum and ensuring materials stay precisely where they need to be throughout infusion.
By helping maintain vacuum integrity, butyl tapes support predictable resin flow, reduced scrap and improved manufacturing efficiency.
Our butyl tapes are developed specifically for vacuum infusion processes, creating temporary airtight seals between the vacuum bag and mould to maintain stable vacuum pressure throughout the production cycle.
Spray adhesives ensure reliable positioning, uninterrupted resin flow, and consistent laminate quality.
Our spray adhesives are engineered specifically for resin infusion applications, providing temporary hold for fabrics, cores, peel ply and flow media during lay-up and bagging. Unlike general-purpose spray adhesives, our infusion solutions are designed to secure materials without interfering with resin flow or laminate quality, while their controlled tack still allows reinforcement fabrics to be repositioned during lay-up.
Key Benefits
As a global leader in adhesive technology, we make adhesives and butyl tapes predictable, straightforward and simple to work.
Backed by decades of research, hands on problem solving and deep expertise, our adhesives and tapes are designed to ease the manufacturing burden – delivering strong airtight seals, reliable temperature resistance and easy clean removal.
