PPG Industries displayed its wind industry solutions during China Wind Power 2014 at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, Oct. 22-24. PPG showcased its collection of products customized for the Chinese wind power industry for the seventh consecutive year.
PPG Fiber Glass provides reinforcements such as HYBON 2002 roving, which is used globally to make wind blades, and new HYBON 2026 fiber glass, which features high strength, rapid wet-out and anti-fatigue performance to support the production of longer, lighter and more durable wind blades.
For coating wind turbine blades, the SELEMIX coating system from PPG includes a combined topcoat and basecoat to help reduce operating costs and offers long-term blade protection. AUE-50000 polyurethane topcoat for wind turbine blades is highly erosion-resistant and offers good adhesion, flexibility, smoothness, impact resistance and weatherability for long-term, low-maintenance protection. When used with HSP-7401 polyurethane primer, AUE-50000 topcoat can help reduce coating thickness on wind turbine blades for enhanced turbine energy output.
PPG’s protective coatings for air-blower application offer lasting protection for wind-turbine components such as bases, wheel hubs, fixed and rotor shafts, dynamos, and flanges, as do the company’s coatings for hot-zinc-sprayed, hot-zinc-dip-galvanized and aluminum-sprayed metal structures. Also, PPG has introduced two low-carbon products, SIGMAFAST 278 coating and SIGMADUR 550H coating. SIGMAFAST 278 coating has 80-percent solids content and is designed for steel-structure machinery to provide effective coating and help reduce production costs. SIGMADUR 550H acrylic polyurethane coating has 68-percent solids content and can reduce organic emissions during construction.
“Leveraging our expertise in a variety of industrial sectors, as well as our global production and service network, PPG can offer tailored solutions to help customers in the wind power industry maximize power-generation efficiency,” said Mike Horton, president, PPG Asia Pacific, and PPG vice president, protective and marine coatings, Asia Pacific. “We will continue bringing advanced products to the Chinese market in a bid to boost the efficient and sustainable development of the country’s wind power industry.”
