Empowering Wind Energy Industry Development

Hexion is the leading resin systems supplier to wind turbine blade manufacturers around the world. Our broad range of epoxy resins, curing agents and bond pastes, combined with our engineering and processing knowledge, have helped set the standard for fatigue performance and composite mechanical properties in rotor blades.

 

As blade lengths increase, composite materials must provide ever greater strength and stability with lighter weight. Hexion has the industry’s longest track record in helping blade manufacturers meet and exceed these requirements while shortening cycle times. We support our customers from design to commercial production.

 

Hexion has special expertise in the following blade fabrication areas:

  •  Resin infusion, RTM, VARTM
  •  Hand lay up
  •  Prepreg
  •  Adhesive bond paste  

Hexion also provides polyester and vinyl ester-based resin systems to the wind turbine market, for both blades and the nacelles surrounding generators and transformers.  Because of their combination of toughness and easy processing, vinyl ester-based resin systems are getting increased market attention. As the industry explores the potential for these materials in various applications, Hexion is committed to providing solutions.
