What PRO-VAC does

PRO-VAC, the trading name of HF Industri & Marine ApS, is a Denmark-based (Svendborg) manufacturer of composite process materials used in vacuum bagging and resin infusion workflows. Its product portfolio covers the full consumables stack required for composite manufacturing: vacuum bagging films and sealant tapes for airtight sealing; peel ply fabrics for surface preparation; a graded release film family (PRO-VAC 500-B-28 at 120°C, 550-Y-30 at 150°C, 910-R fluoropolymer at 260°C) plus the combined RE-MESH product; engineered infusion meshes (BM230P extruded grid, KM160E1 3D knitted), non-woven breather fabrics (PRO-VAC 150B), and PRO-FIX spray adhesives; and a proprietary, fully interconnecting range of infusion ancillaries (inlet blocks, L-connectors, omega channels, valves, T-connectors, spiral wrap, hoses, reinforced hoses) in 10/12/18mm diameters, anchored by the proprietary PRO-VAC HFVL/HFVL 2 micron porous vacuum line. Technically differentiated SKUs are designed in-house, with documentation supporting domain specialization (HFVL resin barrier behavior), integration interoperability (the interconnecting ancillaries range), and performance (mesh flow uniformity).

Products and services

• Vacuum Bagging Films Specialized films used in vacuum bagging processes for composite manufacturing, designed to create an airtight seal over composite layups.
• Vacuum Bagging Sealant Tape Adhesive tapes used to seal vacuum bags during composite processing, providing secure containment for vacuum and resin infusion processes.
• Peel Ply Fabric Fabric placed over composite surfaces during cure to create a textured release surface and improve surface finish.
• Release Films Range of release films for composite processing, including PRO-VAC 500-B-28 (blue low temperature co-polymer, 28 micron, up to 120°C), PRO-VAC 550-Y-30 (yellow mid temperature polypropylene, 30 micron, up to 150°C), PRO-VAC 910-R (red high temperature fluoropolymer/FEP, up to 260°C), and PRO-VAC RE-MESH which combines 500-B-28-P31 release film with KM160E1 infusion mesh to reduce layup time.
• Infusion Meshes Engineered mesh products for resin infusion including PRO-VAC BM230P (230 gsm extruded soft LDPE grid mesh for high flow on flat panels and single curvature structures) and PRO-VAC KM160E1 (160 gsm 3D knitted mesh with good drape and conformability for complex geometries).
• PRO-FIX Spray Adhesives Aerosol spray adhesives (PRO-FIX 3 and PRO-FIX 51) in 500ml cans for industrial composite applications, bonding fabric types (glass, carbon, aramid) and core materials (balsa and foams) during composite layup.
• PRO-VAC 150B Breather Fabric 150 gsm non-woven polyester breather fabric with maximum use temperature of 210°C, designed to aid evacuation of air during debulking and curing.
• PRO-VAC Infusion Ancillaries Range Fully interconnecting range of ancillaries for vacuum infusion processes including PRO-VAC INLET BLOCK (through bag connector), L-CONNECTOR, OMEGA CHANNEL (16mm i/dn interface), INFUSION VALVES, T-CONNECTORS, SPIRAL WRAP, INFUSION HOSE, and REINFORCED HOSES (vacuum side), engineered to be robust and withstand elevated curing temperatures. Available in 10mm, 12mm, and 18mm diameters. Customer kits available for high volume repeatable productions.
• PRO-VAC HFVL / HFVL 2 Micron Porous Vacuum Line Proprietary high quality micron porous vacuum line that allows air to flow consistently through itself while acting as a resin barrier throughout the vacuum infusion process. Combines multiple products with adhesive sealing between layers for higher quality and durable seals. HFVL 2 is the improved and updated version available in 140/180/300mm widths with a maximum processing temperature of 120°C. Reduces labor time, consumable usage, and resin waste while delivering excellent vacuum compaction and better quality laminates.

• Tygavac Advanced Materials: Tygavac supplies vacuum bagging films, release films, peel ply, breather fabric, and infusion consumables to the composites industry worldwide. Like PRO-VAC, it focuses on resin infusion and prepreg processing materials and competes head-to-head on engineered consumables.

Broad incumbents

• SGL Carbon: SGL Carbon produces carbon fiber, composites, and specialty graphite products for automotive, aerospace, wind, and industrial applications. It is a broad incumbent in the composites value chain that competes with PRO-VAC indirectly via shared end customers and integrated process material offerings.
• Gurit: Gurit is a global composites supplier offering prepregs, core materials, structural foam, and a consumables range used in wind, marine, and aerospace. It overlaps with PRO-VAC on infusion ancillaries and process materials but competes primarily as a full composites system supplier.
• Toray Advanced Composites: Toray Advanced Composites supplies prepregs, resins, and consumables to aerospace and industrial markets. While its primary focus is resin systems and prepregs, it competes with PRO-VAC at the consumables/ancillaries layer of the same customer workflow.
• Saertex: Saertex is a global manufacturer of non-crimp fabrics, multiaxial reinforcements, and core materials for composites, with an offering that increasingly includes infusion process consumables. It serves the same wind, aerospace, and industrial customers as PRO-VAC.
• Aerovac (Solvay Composites): Aerovac was a leading vacuum bagging consumables brand now part of Solvay's composite materials business. It competes directly with PRO-VAC in films, release films, and infusion ancillaries while leveraging Solvay's much broader composites portfolio and global scale.

Emerging players

• Composite Envisions: Composite Envisions is a US-based distributor and small-batch manufacturer of vacuum bagging and infusion consumables, including films, mesh, and tubing. It overlaps with PRO-VAC's catalogue and serves the same DIY and small-volume composites fabricators.
• Vacuum Bagging Solutions (VBS): VBS is a UK supplier of vacuum bagging films, release films, breather fabrics, sealant tapes, and infusion consumables, with a similar size and product focus to PRO-VAC. It is an emerging/regional peer competing for the same European composites fabricators.
