Erosion can eat more than your wind blades
Erosion can reduce energy production by over 5%, amounting to $10,000+ in lost revenue per turbine annually.*
Wind blades with severe damage can cost up to $30,000 to repair.
*Calculations based on 3 MW turbine, 30% capacity factor, $30/MWh.

-
Potentially increase annual energy production up to 3%
A fast and economical way to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of a variety of existing blade and turbine types. Our field-proven design has a proven track record of performance improvement, and protection against weathering and harsh environments.
Wind Blade Products
-
A sprayable, soluble synthetic elastomer based adhesive designed for bonding/holding various materials in place during the infusion process.
-
Helps protect blade surfaces from power-robbing damaged caused by minor impacts, rain, sleet, sand, dirt, or other debris. Excellent UV resistance for long-term reliability.
-
Permanently bond and attach many substrates with immediate holding strength; no drying time or clamping required.
-
Helps improve the airflow performance of wind turbines.
-
Helps increase the coefficient of friction in bolted or shaft collar connections, enabling higher potential loads and torque rates with a compact and lightweight design.
-
Filler materials to lightweight and improve integrity of protective wind coatings. Also used for wind cable buoyancy.
