GLASPAR EPOXY
FIBERGLASS TUBING:
Strong,
durable low cost spars. The "original" stunt kite spar.
Still popular in many single line kites. Other uses include:
Stage & Set Design, Amateur Radio Antennas, Medieval Weapons,
and Banner Poles. Many sizes
can be interchanged and used as ferreling material for
other spars.
Construction:
Glaspar tubing products are an advanced multi-ply composite of
continuous fiber reinforcements in an epoxy resin matrix,
produced by our high technology automated filament winding
process. The tubing has alternating longitudinal and
circumferential layers applied by multiple winding stations. The
reinforcement is pre-stressed and precision oriented to maximize
physical strengths. The result is an extremely stiff and
lightweight, electrically insulated composite tube of high
tensile, compressive and flexural strength. All standard and
non-standard sizes above have center less ground surface finish
and are typically black in color. All larger diameter sizes have
resin rich tape wrap surface. Please inquire for custom colors
and cutting services to custom lengths.
