Diatex SaS (Rhone Alpes, France) has introduced DIATEX 1500 EV6, a new peel ply developed for structural bonding of composite materials. It is said to be suitable for use with all adhesives or adhesive films, works with all resins and has no storage constraints. It can be supplied with porosity calibration for use in vacuum infusion processes, and it functions at any curing temperature. Samples from every peel ply batch are subjected to interlaminar fracture toughness (G1C) and slotted single lap-shear strength tests to validate bonding. Manufactured under an EN9100 certificate, the product is said to be qualified for aerospace applications.
