Renewable energy is becoming increasingly important in our lives. Each of the main types of renewable energy – solar, wind, water and others - have their own unique requirements. In the case of wind power, wind turbines have very specific coating needs, as the turbines need to be protected from harsh environments.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of protective coatings, Hempel offers corrosion protection to structures in some of the harshest conditions on the planet.
“We have been a partner to the wind energy industry since the very beginning and our coatings protect many of the world’s windfarms,” David Heal, global head of renewable energy & performance OEM segments at Hempel, noted.
Heal pointed out that commercial wind power was pioneered in Denmark in the 1970s and 1980s, and Hempel has been part of its development from the very start.
“With our headquarters and main R&D center in Copenhagen, we have been in a unique position among coating suppliers, able to immerse ourselves in the wind segment, to understand the need
