Standard Programme Gusset Filler
Our Standard Programme Gussetfiller (also called noodle) 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:
- Easy to form into triangular shape
- Compatible to permeability of fabrics
- Time and money saving when it comes to producing your own gussets
- Contain UD reinforcement (if undesired, use our Braid In Braid BIB Programme)
See the table below for availlable gusset fillers
