Loctite issues a Windpower Maintenance Solutions Guide to O&M Products for Blades, Nacelles, Towers, and Bases

By Paul Dvorak | January 23, 2014

Henkel Corporation, a manufacturer of maintenance and repair chemicals, provides innovative solutions for even the most challenging problems associated with wind turbine assemblies. The company says its O&M program includes a portfolio of products engineered for the assembly, installation, maintenance and repair of blades, nacelles, towers and bases.

Products include:

• Structural bonding adhesives

• Component sealers

• Threadlockers

• Surface and corrosion protection coatings

• Nonslip safety coatings

• Base grouts

• Cable sealants

• Flange sealants and retaining compounds

• Blade and part cleaners

For a blade tip repair, the company suggests Loctite UK 1351 B25 (Structural Bonder) GL-certified, cartridge-dispensed polyurethane with 50 minutes of working life. Polyurethane putty has a work life of 10 minutes and can be sanded in 30 minutes.

For a blade tip repair, the company suggests Loctite UK 1351 B25 (Structural Bonder) GL-certified, cartridge-dispensed polyurethane with 50 minutes of working life. Loctite UK 1370 B10, a polyurethane putty, has a work life of 10 minutes and can be sanded in 30 minutes.

Repairing rotor-blade-tip damage provides an example of catalog contents. Such damage can be significant and structural in nature, requiring a new tip or a structural patch for the repair.  To apply:

• Surface should be clean, dry and abraded.

• Damaged substrate material should be removed from the repair area.

• Bond in the structural patch using Loctite UK 1351 B25 structural bonding adhesive.

• Sand or grind the edges of the patch.

• Mix the Loctite UK 1370 B10 Putty and apply using a trowel to smooth the product over the damaged area.

• Sand after 30 minutes.

    Good jobs for rotor blade tip repair, it is very professional, the maintenance of slip rings is also very important.

    The common problme in the designation is how to connect with the rotating part, however, the most important function of slip rings is to make sure facilities freely connected when rotating
