Flow Media:

Flow media is the medium that is additionally inserted into the material to help the vacuum infusion process by allowing the resin and hardener to spread through the material faster.  The flow media can be chosen to only aid in the infusion, but also can be chosen to also structurally function as core material to strengthen the material additionally.

The most probable flow media to be used is the FibreGlast Divinycell DIVINYMAT (http://www.fibreglast.com/product/DIVINYMAT_01024_A/Vacuum_Bagging_Vacuum_Infusion).  It functions as both flow media and as the structural core for the material itself.
