SECTORS C4 – C5

Power

A complete range of coatings for the demanding conditions of wind turbines, power plants and transmission lines. Maintenance costs are high on hard-to-reach assets; the system is selected for long durability.

TYPICAL LOAD · Wind load, humidity, temperature cycling

RISK ANALYSIS

This is where corrosion comes from.

  • Maintenance costs on elevated and hard-to-reach structures
  • Film fatigue caused by temperature cycling and condensation
  • Salt load at coastal sites
  • Erosion on blade and tower surfaces
Protective coating application in the energy sector
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM

Coating build-up.

The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.
