Airtech Advanced Materials AIRWEAVE/N-10 (50-Mtr-Roll)

Airweave® N10

Overview

Airweave® N10 is a heavy-weight non-woven polyester breather/bleeder material designed for composite vacuum bagging and autoclave curing processes. Engineered for higher-pressure cure cycles, it provides excellent airflow for volatile removal while cushioning sharp tooling radii to protect vacuum bags from puncture. Its highly conformable non-woven construction makes it ideal for aerospace composite manufacturing and repair applications.
