Features:
1) Highest glass reinforcement percentage (approx. 78%) of any
F.R.P. manufacturing process, resulting in maximum stiffness for
weight
2) Specially formulated resins for high stress application
3) Lower pigment levels to avoid degrading cure and reducing
strength properties of the matrix. The vinylester formulation has no
pigment to ensure quality control and reduce cure and strength properties
4) The epoxy-like properties and lower molecular weight of
vinylester battens make their extra cost negligible when
considering their superior durability in high stress applications
5) Optimized profiles to provide low mass and low profile batten and to
allow infinite shape ability
6) Our tubes incorporate glass and carbon/glass, hybrid fiber
reinforcements in a tough epoxy resin. The precision placement of
pre-stressed fibers in continuous axial and biaxial plies optimize the
stiffness, durability, transverse and bending strengths. The inherent
flexibility and memory of the composite tubes dampen the effect of
overpowering wind loads and reflex to maintain an efficient sail shape
Pulwell has a wide range of battens to suit all classes of yachts and wind
surfers, reflecting the latest research in designs to perform reliably in all
conditions. Sail battens of many shapes, including rounds, hexagon, ellipse,
diamond, and flat rectangle are available as stock items.
