3M™ Wind Blade Protection Tapes provide excellent UV resistance and can be used to help protect wind turbine blade surfaces from damage caused by minor impacts and erosion due to rain, sand, dirt, or other debris.
Rotating at speeds of up to 200 MPH (320 kph), wind turbine blades consistently encounter an array of environmental factors – including sand, hail and salt spray – which can cause significant damage and reduce aerodynamic efficiency. And if the blade deteriorates to the point where water enters, the blade could fail, severely impacting the entire wind turbine.
