  • 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.


Products for Wind Blade Manufacturing

  • A sprayable, high-tack, and fast-drying synthetic elastomer based adhesive. Achieve consistent application with our red spray colour.

  • Helps protect blade surfaces from power-robbing damage caused by minor impacts, rain, sleet, sand, dirt, or other debris. Excellent UV resistance for long-term reliability.


Optimise Wind Blade Aerodynamics

Get the most out of your wind blades by improving the energy-production performance of the entire turbine. With 3M Vortex Generators, airflow separation is reduced, helping avoid aerodynamic stall, which can have significant negative impact turbine performance.
