Product catalog summary
Introduction to Compoflex®
Compoflex® is a range of breathable microporous peeling materials designed to streamline composite manufacturing by replacing up to three consumables with a single layer. It offers several benefits including superior peeling properties, uniform bleeding, time and cost savings, and reduced resin dust.
Key Features
  • Superior Peeling Properties: The microporous surface and low surface tension of PP nonwovens allow Compoflex® to peel with significantly less force compared to conventional peel ply.
  • Uniform Bleeding: The random microporous perforation style ensures uniform bleeding, resulting in stronger and lighter laminates. Overlapping is possible without compromising laminate quality.
  • Time and Cost Savings: By replacing peel ply, release film, and breather, Compoflex® reduces costs and handling time, increasing mold output.
  • Reduced Resin Dust: Easy peeling minimizes airborne resin dust, improving the working environment.
Secondary Bonding with Compoflex® SB
Compoflex® SB is designed for surfaces ready for secondary bonding while maintaining superior peeling properties. It is available in three versions for pre-preg and hand lay-up.
Product Specifications
  • Thickness and Resin Capacity: Available in various thicknesses (0.6 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm) with corresponding resin capacities suitable for different applications.
  • Composition: Made of 100% PP, compatible with various resins including polyester, vinylester, epoxy, and phenolic.
  • Working Temperature: Recommended maximum working temperature is 144°C (293°F), with a melting point of 165°C (329°F). Can be used up to 200°C (392°F) with testing recommended.
Certifications
Fibertex Nonwovens is certified according to EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ensuring compliance with European technical and environmental regulations.

Peel ply Release film Breather How can Compoflex® save production time and costs? The Compoflex products are breathable microporous peeling materials. Designed to replace up to three consumables with a single layer in composite manufacturing, Compoflex® offers direct benefits: ® • Superior peeling properties The microporous surface and the low surface tension of PP nonwovens ensure that Compoflex® peels at one-fifth of the force needed to peel conventional peel ply. • Uniform bleeding Random microporous perforation style enables uniform bleeding and thereby stronger and lighter laminates. Furthermore, overlapping is possible without jeopardizing laminate quality. • Time and cost savings – less time in the mold Compoflex® can replace three consumables – peel ply, release film and breather. Fewer consumables combined with easy peeling reduce costs and handling time, simplifying the process considerably and thereby ensuring more output from the individual molds. • Easy peeling minimises resin dust Compoflex® peels easily, and hardened resin remains in the liner reducing the amount of airborne resin dust. Traditional peel ply generates intensive resin dust activity, causing an unhealthy working environment. Secondary Bonding Compoflex® SB • Compoflex® SB with secondary bonding properties Compoflex® SB is designed to produce a surface ready for secondary bonding while maintaining the superior peeling properties of the standard Compoflex® products. Compoflex® SB is offered in three versions for pre-preg and hand lay-up. Distributed by: Compoflex®: All-in-one!
