Reusable Bag Molding

Reusable Bag Molding is similar to Vacuum Infusion Processing with the added advantage of a custom fit vacuum bag that is reusable up to hundreds of cycles. It eliminates disposable process materials such as vacuum bag film and sealant tape. It is much faster to seal the vacuum bag to the mold than in VIP. With excellent part-to-part consistency and ease of conversion from open molding, RSBM has become a viable alternative to open molding for numerous applications. Reusable Bag Molding incorporates a rigid “A” side or base mold and a flexible “B” side or counter mold that is made with silicone, latex or other rubber-like products. The bag may be made by brushing or spraying silicone material on the base mold and incorporating seals where the bag meets the mold flange.
