Wind blade power plant production spray paint

Can Teknos paint a wind turbine blade?

Teknos has developed paints and coatings specially for wind turbine blades. Our turbine blade coating product family consists of a full range of products, from priming to finishing paints, and putties as well as repair solution for rotor blade leading edges.

Are rotor blade coatings suitable for wind turbines?

ALEXIT® products for rotor blade coating are qualified by leading wind turbine manufacturers and have successfully proven their suitability under practical conditions for more than 20 years. Even with extreme temperature differences and strong bending of the rotor blades, the coating must provide full protection

What are the applications of ceramic coatings on wind turbine blades?

Ceramic coatings are also finding applications with the blades of wind turbines. This is in part because ceramic coatings have a greater abrasion resistance than polymer coatings, an important factor in combating leading edge erosion and preventing the constant impact of projectiles from damaging the blade.

What are wind turbine coatings?

Wind turbine coatings are applied to components including blades, towers, nacelles, foundations, and equipment. Like any coating the environmental conditions, service life, required durability, use, and substrate all need to be carefully chosen for to ensure the best outcome and performance.

What are the problems with wind turbine coatings?

The blade tip on a large turbine can can travel at up to 250 mph as it rotates, and pitting, delamination, and cosmetic failures form, compromising the blade’s integrity and developing into total blade failure. This ‘lleading edge erosion’ is one of the biggest issues challenging wind turbine coatings.

What are wind turbine blades made of?

Wind turbine blades are made from aluminum, wood, or a fibreglass-resin composite (for those blades too large for wood or aluminum). Coatings can be applied with spray, roll or brush to rotor blades made from aluminum and wood, but there are two different methods for coating a fibreglass-resin composite blade: in-mold and post-mold application .
