An inner shroud (6) for the stator blades (3) of the compressor of a gas turbine is a plastic component and includes certain additives, which may be concentrated in partial areas for specific functionality, and/or pre-manufactured inserts for sealing, ensuring sliding properties, wear protection and/or setting heat expansion. Such an inner shroud made of plastic material fulfills all requirements usually imposed on inner shrouds made of metal, while being simply producible and having low weight.
