    At the "2016 China International Wind Power Composites Summit Forum" held on April 14~15, Covestro, the world's leading polymer production company, shared the successful test results of the world's first 1.
    5 MW new high-performance polyurethane resin system wind turbine blade that has just been trial-produced, and described in detail the application of
    polyurethane vacuum infusion resin in wind turbine blades.

    The 37.
    5-meter-long polyurethane blade, weighing about 6 tons, was successfully trial-produced at the Shanghai FRP Research Institute through the polyurethane in-line
    casting equipment of Chongqing International Composite Materials Company.
    The success of polyurethane in the large blade infusion process has aroused a lot of repercussions in the industry
    .
    Through detailed data comparison, the audience learned that the new polyurethane resin has excellent mechanical properties, faster curing speed, better processing performance, significantly improved production efficiency compared with traditional epoxy resin, and its lower organic volatiles are more environmentally friendly
    .

    Next, Covestro will work with industry partners to develop longer, lighter next-generation wind turbine blades
    .
    Lighter and longer blades mean higher power generation efficiency, lower power generation costs, which is a trend
    in the global wind power industry.
    Polyurethane resins break through the limitations of existing materials and bring new solutions
    to the industry.

    Covestro has formed a whole industry chain cooperation with a number of industry-leading blade manufacturers, glass fiber companies and equipment manufacturers to jointly develop the application
    of polyurethane resin in blades.

    Windnovation, the world's leading blade design company, said that it is precisely because of Covestro's strong R&D strength and the broad prospects of polyurethane in blade applications, and hopes to give full play to the performance advantages of polyurethane through blade design optimization, and jointly develop the next generation of blades
    with higher power generation efficiency with Covestro.
