TECHNICAL DATA
A5000 Release Film
Violet, White or Clear High Elongation FEP Fluorocarbon Release Films, Plain and Perforated

DESCRIPTION
A5000 is a high performance FEP release film available in violet white or clear. A5000 is a high elongation release film suitable for use in cure cycles up to 500°F (260°C).

APPLICATION
The high elongation of A5000 overcomes bridging in complex contour lay-ups. The high-temperature capabilities of A5000 are compatible with most commonly used resin systems and will release easily after cure. A5000 in violet or white is easily identifiable against the part for removal and the color will not transfer.

A5000 is available non-perforated or in the perforations shown in Table I in this section of our catalog.
