BASF experts at “Husum WindEnergy” 2010 

For the first time, BASF will showcase its current portfolio for manufacturers of wind energy plants at the “Husum WindEnergy” trade show. The offering includes products and solutions that allow efficient production and coating of rotor blades, towers and foundations. BASF experts will give brief presentations at the congress center on September 23, from 2:00 PM through 3:00 PM, to introduce their ranges.

• Epoxy systems, coatings and polyuethanes from BASF for rotor blade manufacturing

Rotor blades need to be extremely sturdy and weather-resistant to endure 20 years of operation. Epoxy-based composites are commonly used as materials for making these rotor blades. BASF provides twocomponent epoxy resin and hardener systems that offer highly beneficial properties under its Baxxodur® brand. These systems can speed up rotor blade manufacturing processes by as much as 30 percent.
