Gurit, a leading global supplier of composite materials and technical solutions to the Wind Energy market, today launched its new Blade Repair System, RENUVO, at Husum Wind Energy 2010 (Husum, Germany) running from Tuesday 21st to Saturday 25th September, stand 6D10.
The RENUVO blade repair system offers a fresh and novel approach to the blade repair market, addressing many of the practical issues that have prevented more effective and expedient maintenance programs. Addressing damage arising from production, transportation and in-field use, the RENUVO blade repair system provides the solution.
A wider weather window for repair has been achieved by the working temperature range starting at +5°C. Traditional wet laminating materials must normally be used above +15°C as they can suffer from bi-product and handling issues. Summer and Winter grade versions of the RENUVO MPS (Multi-Purpose System) and RENUVO PP (Prepreg) are available to cope with most conditions.
The RENUVO product range has transformed the conditions for repair by using UV light from the RENUVO Lamp Technology to cure materials in minutes. A spot lamp is available for simple maintenance repairs with a higher intensity product available for deeper structural repairs using RENUVO PP. Both lamps are available exclusively from Gurit.
Summary of benefits:
- Over 50% reduction in structural repair time
- Low odour, zero VOC resin
- Styrene and amine-free
- GL Certification pending product range
- Extended weather window for repair from +5°C
