Perforation Solutions for Industrial & Manufacturing Applications

Automotive & Heavy Equipment Noise Control

Perforated films can be combined with sound-absorbing materials to help control noise in automotive and heavy-equipment applications. Perftech can engineer hole size, pattern and perforation density to allow sound energy to pass through the film into the absorptive material, helping reduce reflected noise within vehicle cabins and other enclosed spaces.

Breathable House Wrap & Building Materials

Perforated films can provide a cost-effective breathable layer for selected building and construction applications. By controlling hole size, pattern and perforation density, Perftech can produce films that allow moisture vapor to pass while helping resist the passage of bulk liquid water.

Vacuum Bag Composites

Composite manufacturing often requires excess resin and gases to escape during vacuum processing and curing. Perftech perforates films used in vacuum-bagging systems to provide controlled pathways for resin and gases while the composite layers are consolidated. Hole size, pattern and density can be tailored to the requirements of the process

Fiberglass Pipe Manufacturing

Large-diameter fiberglass pipe used in oil and industrial applications requires controlled compression during the resin curing process. Narrow perforated tape is wrapped around the pipe to compress and hold the fiberglass and resin structure in place during curing. The perforations allow gases generated during the curing process to escape while the tape maintains the compression required for proper consolidation. Perftech can produce perforated tape patterns tailored to the requirements of the pipe manufacturing process.

Weed Control & Agricultural Films

Perforated weed-control films allow water and moisture to reach the soil while helping suppress unwanted plant growth. Perftech can produce uniform perforation patterns across the film or use laser processing to create openings in specific locations for planned planting layouts. Hole size, spacing and pattern can be customized for agricultural, nursery and landscaping applications.

Tire Retreading

Commercial truck tires can be retreaded by removing the worn tread and bonding a new tread to the prepared tire casing. During vulcanization, gases generated by the bonding materials must be allowed to escape. Perftech produces perforated release film that provides a venting path for these gases while also creating a release barrier between the tire and the compression shell used during the retreading process.
