Info

The perfect finish <strong>Seldén</strong> carbon spars are available with a choice of 5 quality levels of surface finish. Which quality you choose depends on the type of boat and the requirement of the spar. Spars can be supplied with a clear finish or painted the colour of choice. 12
Natural: As standard Dinghy spars and spinnaker poles are supplied natural with no additional painted finish. The resin system used in the manufacture of our carbon spars includes a UV inhibitor to protect the epoxy resin from the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight. A black pigment is also added to the resin to further improve UV resistance. A natural finish and the limited UV resistance it provides is ideal for spars where weight and cost are critical considerations. Basic: Our basic finish is applied as standard to all our keelboat spars. We lightly abrade the surface of the spar and then apply two coats of a UV resistant, epoxy based coating. This clear sacrificial coating provides excellent protection but may need to be sanded and over coated a number of times over the life of the spar. Superior Clear: All our yacht spars are supplied with the Superior Clear finish. In this process spars are fully sanded and then painted with up to seven coats of clear epoxy coating. The result is the deep shine viper pattern that make our spars stand out and provides many years of protection. Superior Solid: This is the same finish as superior clear but instead a solid pigment is used in the epoxy coating. A wide choice of colours is available and charts are available upon request. Ultimate Solid: Our ultimate finish provides a completely smooth outer surface to the spar. The process includes fully sanding the spar, fairing the surface using a compound and then applying a solid colour painted finish.
