Vacuum Pump Inside a Vacuum BagWe have a very small supply of 30 mil polyurethane material that is approximately 24" x 48". However, there is a crease in the film where it is folded along the length... making it, more or less, a two-layer film that is approximately 24" x 24". We're not sure what you might make from it, but it's a great bargain. This item is non-returnable.

This material is the same polyurethane material that is used to make VS Extreme™ vacuum bags. It is typically used for making custom-sized vacuum bags or for use with DIY vacuum frame presses. Our polyurethane material is 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*. Our polyurethane film has superior resilience and unmatched puncture resistance.

The size options shown are for single pieces of material only.
This product is not a vacuum bag. 

Features

  • Lubricant Infusion - This bag material is infused with a non-transferring lubricant that works in several ways to make vacuum bagging easy and trouble-free. This lubricant prevents most woodworking adhesives from sticking to the bag. Glue that sets on the bag simply peels right off. Unlike traditional urethane material, our lubricant-infused polyurethane allows the user to easily slide the platens and project panel into the bag without "blocking" or binding. The slippery surface makes inserting project panels a breeze.
     _
  • TPU Modifier - VS Elite and VS Extreme polyurethane material has a thermoplastic urethane modifier, which gives it the unique ability to be permanently welded with HH-66 vinyl cement. The mating surfaces must first be thoroughly cleaned with acetone or xylene.
     _
  • Superior Resilience - Months of extensive testing resulted in a custom formulation that is unsurpassed in durability. Our polyurethane lasts up to 10 times longer than standard 30 mil vinyl.

Questions & Answers

Is the polyurethane film perfectly flat?
This is not the right product for anyone requiring "perfectly" flat material. There will be some small wrinkles here or there, but under vacuum, these will pull flat.

Does epoxy stick to this polyurethane material?
I have tested the polyurethane with several brands of epoxy purchased from the local hardware store. The epoxy did release from the test samples. However, I've received differing opinions about this from our customers and my guess is that it depends on the type of epoxy, how much epoxy comes in contact with the material, and how often the vacuum bag is used in this capacity.

One of our customers recently wrote...
"We're using West epoxy, and have had zero problems with the material sticking to the bags. Just pops right off. We're using it neat, and also with microfiber thickeners, and I can say there's no need to worry about sticking with West epoxy and these polyurethane bags." - Kenny Delapp, Albuquerque Joinery

Why is the shipping so expensive?
FedEx, USPS, and UPS have significant surcharges on boxes over 48" in length. Shipping tends to be a bit expensive due to the 60" box will use to ship this material.
