Edge Protector
Real professionals are not satisfied with weak corners - why should you?
kelteks Edge Protector is the innovative solution for perfect corner reinforcement.
Working with composites often presents challenges with sharp corners and edges. Traditional glass fiber mats struggle to fit into small-corner radius, leaving resin-rich areas prone to air bubbles and weak spots, which can lead to stress-cracking and laminate chipping.
Our kelteks Edge Protector offers an innovative solution. Its soft, flexible fibers mold seamlessly into sharp-edged joints and corners, ensuring fibers reach every critical area, preventing resin nests, and reducing the risk of stress-cracking.
Unlike stiff alternatives, kelteks Edge Protector adapts easily to any contour, providing reliable reinforcement and consistently durable, high-quality results.
