Standard Programme Gusset Filler

Download standard programme gussetfiller

Our Standard Programme Gussetfiller is specially designed to fill up gussets in preforms.
When fabrics are plied into shapes like type 1 and type 2 a hollow space is created.
In injection systems this hollow space will create a runner where the resin will go through without respecting the resin front. If this behaviour is not desired a filler is needed to 'plug' the created resin channel.

The optimum as filling material is the same meterial as the fabric beaing used. This leads even to more performance of the produced part.

Eurocarbon has developed a selection of special braids with special characteristics to fill up the gusset filler

The gusset filler are:
