Flow Lease
Flowlease 75-37P16 combines Greenflow 75 flow mesh with a layer of our perforated style 16 release film Wrightlon® 3700 P16 and is intended to be used in resin infusion applications. The mesh is designed to efficiently distribute resin with little waste due to the low profile and tight construction. A high resin infusion flow can be achieved with most resin types. Great labor savings can be achieved by having combination of products applied in one operation as opposed to applying one layer at a time. Flowlease 75-37P16 will be applied on the top of the carbon or fiberglass fabrics or on the top of the peel ply.
