Airtech WL5200B (60-Inch-Roll)

Additional Product Information

Overview

The WL 5200 is a high-performance fluoropolymer release film designed for advanced composite manufacturing in aviation and MRO applications. It ensures reliable release from most resin systems and produces a glossy finish on laminates. Teams rely on WL 5200 for its ability to conform to complex shapes, high thermal resistance, and consistent quality across large-scale production runs.
