A Novel Quick Turn-Around Repair Coating For Offshore Windmills

Product Number: 51323-19481-SG

Author: Hindrik Harm Broesder, Dinko Cudic

Publication Date: 2023

Offshore wind towers are commonly foreseen with factory-applied anti-corrosion coatings that consist of
multi-layer 2-component protective paint systems like epoxies or polyurethanes. These coating systems have various requirements in place for application and curing conditions like a high degree of surface cleanliness of steel, roughness profile for achieving proper adhesion, low levels of salt contamination on the surface, and appropriate control of temperature and humidity during curing. During transport and installation of the coated towers, the factory-applied coating often gets damaged.

Two Coat Inorganic Coatings System for Corrosion Resistance and Long-Life

Product Number: 51324-21092-SG

Extending service life of an offshore wind tower brings value to the owner and has the added benefit of reducing environmental impact. Arguably the biggest threat to service- life is degradation. When constructing with steel, corrosion is the threat to mitigate. Coatings formulated with zinc dust have been the primary strategy for protection. Zinc dust incorporated into silicate resins is considered an inorganic zinc coating. In recent years silicate finishes made without zinc have entered the market to create a two- coat inorganic system offering unmatched corrosion protection in a finish with various color options. The silicate resin is low carbon and won’t contribute to microplastic accumulation in the ocean. This paper will explain what a two- coat inorganic corrosion resistant system is, how it works, what it looks like and most importantly how it extends the life- cycle of wind towers by inhibiting corrosion for decades.
