Product Description


logo-duramax.gif
The Dura-Max Elite™ vacuum bagging material has been designed for VeneerSupplies.com using an advanced thermoplastic polyurethane that can withstand pressures exceeding 3,750+ psi and stretch more than 6 times its width and length*. Dura-Max Elite polyurethane film has superior resilience and unmatched puncture resistance. Made in the USA. 

Each bag is welded with a state-of-the-art custom RF welding machine operating at 7,000 watts and 50 lb/in of pressure. This exact combination of frequency and clamp strength yields the most durable and airtight end-seam available. Each bag then undergoes a series of inspections including a final check that I do prior to shipment.

*Elongation and breaking strength based on ASTMD 412 test method.


Features

  • New Flush-Mount Valve StemNew Flush-Mount Valve Stem - The Elite vacuum bag also includes our new flush-mount valve stem assembly that allows you to use the full length of the vacuum bag without worry of project surface damage. A specially designed 2.5" diameter 50 mil flange is molded onto the polyurethane valve body and is permanently welded onto each bag. This creates an 80 mil total thickness reinforcement area for maximum durability.
  •  
  • Vaxcell™ Infusion - Dura-Max Elite vacuum bags are infused with a non-transferring lubricant that works in several ways to make vacuum bagging easy and trouble-free. Vaxcell lubricant prevents all woodworking adhesives from sticking to the bag. If any glue gets on the bag, it simply peels right off. Unlike traditional urethane material, Vaxcell infused polyurethane allows the user to easily slide the platens and project panel into the bag without "blocking" or binding. The slippery surface created by Vaxcell makes inserting project panels a breeze.
  •  
  • Superior Resilience - Months of extensive testing resulted in a custom formulation that is unsurpassed in durability. Dura-Max Elite bagging material withstands 500% more use than standard 30 gauge vinyl yet weighs 33% less.

Product Reviews

  1. Built like a stretchable, plyable tank!

    I've got two Dura-Max Elite bags and they are built to last! The included bag closure is easy to use and works like a charm. I even forgot to round over the corners on one project and feared the bag would puncture. Didn't happen. You can't go wrong with these bags.


  2. Extremely Well Manufactured Bag

    Built like a tank. I cant imagine that this bag would ever break.


  3. Clearly A Superior Composition

    Review by Andrew Baird

    Like other reviewers here, I have only good things to say about about this vacuum bag. The polyurethane here is different from other places. It is clearly a superior composition and its far more elastic than others I have tried. Our shop ordered 2 more bags after the first came in. My boss was impressed. I was impressed. And all of our shop help was impressed by how well these bags were manufactured. The closure clips work perfectly too.


  4. It Is A Sight To Behold

    Review by Alan Tischer

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

    Other places are selling similar bags for $150 to $200 more than the price here. I just bought my second bag from VeneerSupplies.com because the first is always in use (by my friends and co-worker who are drooling over my homemade vacuum press). With the second bag, I also plan to try running two bags at once by tee-ing off of the main line.

    This bag is like a super rubber. It just stretches and goes back to its regular shape time after time. The valve stem and closure system are included too. I found that my vacuum press can pull this bag down within 4 minutes and doesnt cycle on for at least 15 minutes after that. This tells me that the bag is 100% sealed and that the bag closure is working as advertised. It is a sight to behold!


  5. The Quality And Price Is Unmatched

    After looking for bags elsewhere, I've found no other that can compare to this deal. The quality and price is unmatched. The info about this product is straight forward and easy to understand, thanks!


More Information

The maximum project size that is listed for this bag is approximate. It will vary because of tolerances in the bag making process. The maximum project size will also vary depending on the total thickness of the platens and project. You can maximize the usable size of the bag by using breather mesh instead of a top platen.
