(BASF) -- Fascinating close-up views
and animated graphics, xtraordinary perspectives, and interesting information –
these features distinguish two new BASF films on wind energy. They highlight the
opportunities, benefits and challenges of wind power as one of the major
climate-friendly sources of energy for the future. The role that specifically
developed BASF products play in making wind turbines even more efficient is
discussed in the films by means of specific examples. One of the two films,
which last about eight minutes each, deals with the production of rotor blades
from a novel type of epoxy systems, while the other examines innovative rotor
blade coatings.
“We want these films to convey the fascination of having chemistry
contribute to enhancing efficiency in the production of modern wind energy
plants and making them more profitable to use,” said Dr. Martin Jung, spokesman
of BASF’s Wind Energy Industry Focus Group, and added: “If you want to simplify
current wind rotor production processes and achieve equipment life cycles of
more than twenty years, you need intelligent chemistry – such as BASF’s novel
coating and epoxy systems.” The company also supplies grouting solutions and
concrete additives for the construction of high-strength foundations and towers
for modern wind turbines.
