The development of wind towers both on and offshore is a responsible investment in the future of sustainable and renewable energy supplies. Harsh environmental conditions encouraged by sea and land cause erosion and corrosion of on and offshore wind towers, nacelles and blades. If they are not protected adequately, these conditions may reduce the reliability, life span and, ultimately, the economic value of wind parks.
plastocor-international’s high quality, superior performance, protective coatings are a sustainable and economic way to protect wind towers, nacelles and blades from damages caused by harsh environmental conditions. plastocor-international in cooperation with its manufacturing partner has created an innovative, UV-stable, abrasion and impact-resistant coating system that combines the strength and longevity of an epoxy with the colour stability of a polyurethane.
These products are 100% solids, zero VOC, solvent-free polymeric materials, thus safe for both the environment and the applicator. Consequently, they significantly outperform conventional coating systems.
About plastocor-international
Successful business: plastocor-international builds upon more than 40 years of successful business in specialised coating development and applications for the power industry, nuclear as well as fossile.
The trust of nuclear facilities: for many years plastocor-international has upheld the trust of the biggest nuclear facilities around the world, which by nature hold the highest standards for coatings quality.
Quality assurance: since 2011 plastocor-international has been certified by EDF, the French number one power supplier and the world’s biggest nuclear facility, as CAS 1 EDF NT 85-114 applicator of their coating materials. Also, plastocor-internationals’s licensed manufacturing partner is on the qualified vendor’s list of numerous nuclear plants and is certified by NUPIC and ISO 9001:2008 guaranteeing a strict quality control programme.
Full portfolio of wind tower and nacelle coatings
The environmental conditions experienced offshore are significantly different from those onshore; the main difference being the physical and corrosive abuse of the open sea. Consequently, we supply two distinct product lines tailored specifically for the protection of towers in each wind segment.
Full portfolio of blade protection products
We supply a full-line of high performance, colour stable coating systems for the repair, resurfacing and long-term protection of wind turbine blades, including the leading edge.
Advantages of choosing plastocor-international’s high-performance coatings
Green solutions: all products contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Applied correctly, our products being 100% solids and solvent-free are non-hazardous to the user and environment.
Cost savings: economic value analysis shows that cost savings are evident both short and long-term. By significantly lengthening the coating life-span, recoating projects are required far less frequently saving on both the cost of material and that of application. Cost savings also result from short downtime periods.
Easy to apply and short drying times: our products are easily applied by hand (brush, roller or trowel) or by spray equipment (conventional airless, plural component) and designed for application in either an OEM facility or in the field as a repair procedure during regular downtime periods.
Outstanding adhesion: our coating solutions exhibit excellent adhesion to metal, concrete and fibreglass surfaces. Adhesion pull tests have shown greater than 138bar (2,000 psi) bond strength to properly prepared steel surfaces.
Excellent colour stability: our products are built upon a polymeric backbone that is uniquely modified to provide excellent UV resistance, colour stability and gloss retention.
